Hi there and welcome on.
You asked a lot of questions…short answer for myself.
I have had many mystical experiences that I can not explain at all. Even 10 or 15 years later I don’t bring them up because of lack of context. Walking through a city with two friends, but not being acknowledged by anyone else except by forcing acknowledgement…sitting in a restaurant for 30 minutes and no service is a bit annoying but fun and terrifying when you realize what is happening. Other things that happened that night would require some context to have an understanding.
Can’t say the magickal kingdom is part of my experience.
I also know things I have never seen the need to share, however based on everything I have seen in my life, the want and or need to share probably will come up, so I will not take it to my grave.
I have had a similar experience to your mention of the book, but with people, or with movies. Very odd, very profound, and I have no answers as to why. With people, they are usually people I spend an intense few days with and never see again. In many of those cases, the things done where out of character, but not at all out of capabilities…in one case I can say that me and the other person where perhaps the two best people on the planet to do everything we did do. Where we just tools for higher powers? Possibly? Did we affect the lives of others? I am sure we did. How is it I can trust someone I don’t know and drive hundreds of miles and do totally bizarre things with them, and with people they know as well as I know them, yet have complete confidence in them? It had nothing to do with honesty or anything…just seemed like the best thing to do at that point in time, and in truth the little things that stood in our way seemed like nothing, but thinking back on it, I don’t know how we where so lucky to be successful.
Anyway, there is a lot of information of this forum, the search tool is great to find things with. Also be sure to read the guidelines.
Welcome on.

yeah....driving all those miles as you did and feeling confident to do things with strangers.....cool and awesome stuff that is...
I think strangers are the real teachers and the real guiders in the life,they come and go like road signs on a great highway we interact with them, me personally I have found that strangers were closer to recognizing the real me in a fleeting second than with many close friends I have known all my life, but this makes sense to me as closeness can be a killer of the very soul that finds comfort in it, it's curious how closeness can create distance even in the deepest of affection, but then again the deepest of affections are surrendered to the other and therefore sometimes at the other's mercy therefore leaving that element of fear that then leads to the need of the stranger... to shake a little , wake a little, us out of the closed bubble that closeness sometimes can bring.
I have always found amazing comfort in the weirdest and strangest of strangers, isn't it those little deep questions when the mind is far away in thought while sitting at the traffic light in the car, and the person sitting beside you in the front seat shouts at you that the lights have turned red, while you were far away in thought pondering on things, those little questions about your life, pondering on a place you were once happier in.. or maybe the fleeting meeting you had with a stranger that bugs you to this day in the words they told you, and you have no idea what or how it bugs you. talking with strangers for me is like communicating with the sleeping part of me, that past that has yet to wake up and learn new things, the part that will show me more than any closeness or understanding I might have with any other, love is love, yes, nothing more precious than knowing love and to know the one you love, but no matter how beautiful and perfect it might be, i am always in need of a little strangeness to bend me back onto the track of understanding the deep that lies within.
