Where the psychical manifests itself and mixes with the aspirant's mystical experience, this may happen because he has some psychical sensitivity or a strong emotional nature or a vivid imaginative faculty. If the ego inserts itself, as it often does, the result will be a confused one. In such a case, the aspirant has to separate the psychical element from the mystical one, which is higher. He has to force himself by rigorous analysis to become aware of what has really happened.
