Think it was Nancy (over on the Stones List) who recently asked for accounts of religious/spiritual experiences for a project she was working on. Interesting, but also so easy to fall into delusion and fantasy. But, you know, what the hell. As moss said on another thread earlier today, knowledge and understanding is all about sharing ideas and experiences and learning from them (or words to that effect) and some of those experiences might lead to a deeper understanding of things we discuss here. So, here goes, will set the ball rolling...
Have had two religious/spiritual experiences. Once while out walking in the mountains I slipped and really thought I'd had it. As the soil began to crumble away beneath me I reached out to grab the trunk of a young tree... everything then seemed to slow down and for a moment there was a feeling that it was not me reaching out to the tree but the tree reaching out to me... :-)
