Mystic Experiences from… Memory?

You can file this under Historical Jesus studies if you want.

Have you ever had an ah-ha moment sometime after the fact? Like something happened, or something was said and only later you understood it? Not in a prophetic sort of way, but like a proverb from your grandfather or -mother that only later in life did you realize it to be true?

Yes, you have. If you haven’t, and you’ve always known what you’ve always known, then you are pretty darn special yourself.

Thoughts?
