Hood’s Mysticism Scale. A long-standing trait measure of mystical and unitive experience — timelessness, unity, a sense of the sacred or of profound meaning. The same salience dial that, turned one way, drives psychosis-spectrum experience can, turned another, produce awe and a felt sense that everything is connected.
