And you are right that mystical experiences don't mean anything as they can be a test from God or be a deception from Satan .and the charismatic movement Wich reports these has all proven false prophets and rich pastors fleecing their congregations with such stories.

Besides in islam we have the miracles of the Friends of Allah like abdalqadir aljilani and their becoming one with him in fanaa.and annihilating the nafs or self to become one with Allah.many sufi saints have great knowledge given to them by Allah of the past,present and future.
I suggest you drop all that nonsense knowing that you won't be able to.

Two other nice opportunities for you : Zoroastrianism and Baha'i.
How good and wonderful are your days,

Greetings,

Given that this topic provides no connection to Theravada and is just about a member who has switched from one non-Buddhist religion to another, this topic is outside the scope of this forum.

I recommend Dharma Paths if anyone wishes to pursue the conversation any further.

Metta,
Paul. :)
