Abstract
Abstract: The commentaries have provided an opportunity to clarify claims about the synergy between constructivism and mystical experience. The agnosticism of radical constructivism is shared with mysticism. Not all gaps are associated with cognitive change and wonder. Moments of profound insight that follow uncertainty have mysterious origins that affirm the argument concerning a synergy between constructivism and mystical experience.
