For Mary of the Trinity mystical experience always goes with the knowledge that is offered to her in the light of prayer. Here’s what she says about it :
“Knowledge is a certain science by means of ideas, while the experience is through immediate … Knowledge does not touch the being, while the experience hugs . In this sense, knowledge should be reserved for the operation of the intellect, faculty of the soul - and experience for the soul, substantial reality , when it comes into immediate and intimate contact with another substantial reality , which can only be God himself.”
