The Institute for Mystical Experience Research and Education
The mission of the Institute for Mystical Experience Research and Education (IMERE) is to advance the creation, communication, and application of mystical experience knowledge to help unite people throughout the world and to assist individuals in their spiritual growth.
During a mystical experience, there exists a simple unity, a pure consciousness, or non-duality of observer and observed. In addition to oneness, the defining features of mystical experience include feelings of sacredness, peace, and bliss; a sense of transcending time and space; and an intuitive conviction that the experience is a source of objective truth about reality.
The effects of mystical experiences are of enormous value to both experiencers and humanity. On a personal level, mystical experience leads to sudden and lasting positive changes in an experiencer’s character and values. And on a global scale, mystical experiences lie at or near the foundation of religions generally and thus even of civilization itself. Indeed, the mystical roots of conscious experience reveal a deep human identity, transcending all national, racial, personal, and theological differences. It is therefore vital to further our understanding of these important, transformative experiences.
At the Institute for Mystical Experience Research and Education (IMERE), we are dedicated to empirical research on mystical experiences. Our mission is to advance the creation, communication, and application of mystical experience knowledge to help unite people throughout the world and to assist individuals in their spiritual growth.
At present, IMERE’s primary research project is our international survey of people who have had mystical experiences (see our Mystical Experience Questionnaire page for more information). By working to collect thousands of mystical experience questionnaires from people from all over the world, we are furthering man’s understanding of these important transcendental experiences.
We invite you to thoroughly explore our website to find out more about the Institute for Mystical Experience Research and Education. And if you believe that you have had, or may have had, a mystical experience, we warmly encourage you to share your experience with us through our Online Mystical Experience Questionnaire (your submission will be kept anonymous unless you indicate otherwise). It is you and people like you who drive the success of IMERE.
Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us. We very much look forward to hearing from you.
