Summary/Abstract: Mystical experience and demonic possession as examples of religious experience are the areas which are submitted to extremely different interpretations. The gap between interpretations is due to the beforehand presumed metaphysics. Skillful separation between confessed metaphysics of the interpreter and religious experience which he interprets let us reach the true contents of the religious experience and at the same time become a true challenge to a philosopher.
