What are scholars views on mysticism and visions???

I cant find any other than ninian smart and pahnke

Dude this is a great question with the potential for a really enriched response!

The question is basically asking what the importance of present life is, and for those who are religious, it basically is in preparation for death as life is
used as a vehicle towards your fate in death. So if you agreed with the view you would talk about how the purpose of life IS for death, such as with Christianity, Islam, and Buddhists seeing that our present life is important in determining our fate after we die.

Secularists might argue that nothing happens after you die (Humanists) and that life isn't for preparing for death because we should enjoy the present.

What you would do is chose which side you agree on and use the religions to either argue or counter argue your points

Thank You very much, this was helpful!
I wanted to ask though, could I make a brief reference to Bentham's Utilitarianism in the Secularist approach as he expresses the point to live life with happiness and 'to the max'?? Or would that be inappropriate.
I would only write like a sentence.

The synoptic nature of this exam implies that anything relevant is appropriate in order to gain marks. If you were to comprehensively and cohesively link the statement to the question, any information will likely grant you some credit. The more relevant and informative the better.

For example, with a question regarding the verification of the reality of a concept, logical positivism can be used in an answer.

It's not irrelevant as long as it relates to the question, if it relates to the importance of present life then it's useful and fine! But make sure you expand on the point, I don't think you should only write a sentence because that is merely stating it and not "unpacking it" like the mark scheme requires, if you are going to write about his ideology make sure you explain it a bit more in depth with an example

anyone that's doing rst4a RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE tomorrow? what you focusing on, anything and everything? i'm struggling. any help would be greatly appreciated D:

Yeah that's true.
Oh yeah I've read that phrase 'unpacking it' in an examiners report.
Thanks again

Logical positivists maintain that a statement is only meaningful is there's internal logic to support it or direct sense experience to verify a statement, is that correct?
