This chapter is dedicated to the contemporary mysticism studies. It analyses different conceptions of the mystical experience proposed by contemporary scientists and cherished by mystics. A clear distinction is drawn between the mystical experience as a transient trance and the mystical experience as a process of the whole life. A question of the possibilities of the investigation into the mystical experience is put forward. The chapter surveys some most important contemporary researches in the brain studies and examines the investigations into the trance caused by chemical and organic substances. The question of authenticity of the mystical experience and the influence of the tradition on it are discussed appealing to the texts of the Christian mystics.
