Definitely do these posts. I am somewhat skeptical, since my own experience with mystical practices (mostly from Buddhism) haven't provided me with many benefits, but I am enormously interested in your case, since you indicate you actually have had major successes. I look forward to reading them and trying them out.

On a little picky note, I wouldn't describe what you're talking about as "arational". Rational thought processes lead to correct beliefs, and effective actions. As long as that happens, I call it rational.
