There is the experience, and then there is the 'explanation' which is 
the cultural context in which you place it.
Different cultures will provide different explanatory frameworks.
While the experience stands as it is, the explanation does not.
The clearest 'context free' analysis, which is no analysis (subtle 
joke), is Zen.
