Experience has a crucial role in all human activities.
Children seem to be helpless and vulnerable sometimes, just because they lack experiences in interacting with the environment. On the other hand, the accuracy and smoothness with which a steersman navigates his ship on a stormy see is because of the experience he has. Through positive and negative experiences we get insight into new things that happen to us and consolidate old knowledge we have. It is the same for spirituality too, just as it is in the physical world. The majority of people on their first experience with the non-physical world report a significant change in the way they view human life.
