In other words, what about beliefs rooted in personal experiences that cannot be scrutinized or validated through a rigorous peer-review process? This often occurs in religious, mystical, or spiritual encounters, where the experience profoundly impacts the individual undergoing it. However, these experiences typically lack external validation, except for instances supposedly witnessed by multiple individuals simultaneously (one historically notable example being the resurrection of Jesus, which was purportedly witnessed by multiple observers, with intersubjective agreement among all of them).
If I possess privileged access to certain experiences, yet their nature precludes convincing others or subjecting them to peer review for establishing (worldwide) intersubjective consensus, and yet these experiences remain undeniably compelling, am I justified in trusting them?
