The German Islamic scholar Anne-Marie Shimmel has discussed the dialogical power of mystical experiences. She has noticed that those who have a deep and intense commitment to their religion are often open minded about the conviction of others. Such experiences are not universally common. This open-mindedness corresponds to existential communication in Jaspers' terms. In the development of stages of faith in Fowler's taxonomy, it is the sixth -universal / mystical -way to understand religions and cultures [p.91][see the full version of this taxonomy of faith: Stages of Faith : The Psychology of Human Development, J. W. Fowler (1995)]
