Franklin Merrell-Wolff considers the question of proof regarding the actuality of mystical states. He acknowledges that formal proof is not possible; however, he suggests that a statistical analysis of mystical reports reveals that these states probably do exist. He illustrates the value of this statistical presumption by reference to Aurobindo’s description of the direct action of the sense-mind and to the difficulty in communicating the experience of color to an individual who was born blind. He encourages us to act with courage and daring not only in connection with the awaking and use of the unusual functions of the direct action of the sense-mind, but in dedicating our lives to the yogic search for Enlightenment.
