I too experienced a very similar event Sept., 2017, but I was in my wake state. And I like you, find it hard to translate into words, for words alone can not describe a mystical union and I fear my words will give it injustice.
I have never been a religious type, actually tried not to think about Heaven/Hell, because I'd have to accept or deny their existence, and was scared of the decision I'd reach.
I believed in someTHING, not able to put a finger on the exactly what though.
Nonetheless, nothing like this has ever happened to me before in any state of mind. It happened during my grandmother's funeral and I couldn't even speak of it for months, the mere thought brought me to my knees, sobbing uncontrollably. I finally put the words on paper taking several months to complete, crying instantaneous with each attempt.
My grandmother was a divine monarch of her church, family and especially to me. I adore/d her with my every being. I love/d her completely. I felt our souls intertwined, she was a true inspiration to all the lives she touched, especially mine.
At her service, I spoke first with her preacher finishing with the final eulogy and prayer. During this time,
I was in such deep despair, isolated in my own thoughts, my own world. I was in such deep concentration of prayer, I began feeling somewhat removed from everyone and the room as well, my own private cocoon, so to speak.
Please bare with me from this point, for I find no words to adequately describe the vastness of my encounter….
What started as a simple prayer, turned into an extremely focused, singular and direct line to 'All That Is'.
At first, I was agitated for being disturbed during this dispairing moment. An internal warmth deep within startled and directed my senses inwardly, a gentle, invisible nudge. It was at that point, I became aware of a presence growing IN me and joined me in my place of solitude.
Something out of this world was enveloping me, where time, space and sound, temporarily stood still and I accepted this presence wholeheartedly. With acknowledgement and acceptance, it began to grow, the warmth became so radiant, the light and love offered was beyond pure, endless, utterly comsuming. I felt as if I was glowing, a radiant light, levitating, from this immense energy temporarily handed to me, as entering a different plane or dimension. I was shown without seeing, I was told without words, I heard without hearing, a choir of voices without song… We are ONE, love for all is love for ONE, we are not us, we are ONE, together, united. There are no separate entities only a singularity, which equals us. We together make ONE completeness. The strength of this LOVE binds and UniteS. The purest joy, the purest love, the purest kindness, the purest
knowledge and pure enlightenment.
I didn't want to leave this place, I longed to stay, I didn't won't these feelings/emotions to end. As I slowly descended, I knew I could always return under the right circumstances, for it's an open invitation to all. The door is there, the key is deep within ourselves and wanting and waiting to be opened…silver string.
The most humbling and gracious experience of my lifetime, beyond my wildest hopes and dreams, I'm eternally grateful and will always fall to my knees in his presence.
Unfortunately, I have yet to return. I'm lacking, yet learning the emotional perseverance to go back…I hope to eventually master the skills to return as often as I please. Fortitude.
Looking back over the past several months, knowing my experience is what linked and directed me to this board, to Q and all you fab anon geniuses on this site. I've learned so much and blown away by the cumulative knowledge here. I no longer believe in coincidences and know this is a sign of our awakening, it has begun. God Bless and Thank each and everyone of Q!
Where we go ONE we go all.
