I certainly think some people have the ability to sense things or pick up things that others cannot. I've yet to figure out the mechanism

Neither I

From my readings, I think it is more about letting go (instead of “doing”)

If we are using the “brain as a reciever” model, everyday life keeps most people in the default mode network of the brain (mindless)

“Mystical” experience tend to occur in solitude/isolation. Prayer and mindfulness practices help.

Some feel that we get to figure it all out when the brain goes completely offline (near death experiences/death itself). This also bleeds into the strange experience that is sleep.

In short, we are surrounded by ways to “connect” in a secular world that is becoming more “disconnected” (despite our electronic relationships)
