But recognizing it as a thing requires being able to have a symbol of it.

I'm not necessarily denying that a mystical state of pure experience is possible--philosophers call it apprehension--but I'm not sure I could call it thought, because there's no way to respond to this experience without categorizing it. It seems more like pure undifferentiated being.
