Can you relate?
For that split second...now and again...everything becomes perfectly clear - it all connects - the answers are the feeling - and the feeling is the "All" ...then - it dims again. Though the feeling is still there it has dissipated a bit - like the smoke that curls from a fire...not quite as strong..or clear - but we know it's there and we've "touched" it. We've felt it - "seen" it - been it ... perhaps, that's enough, - enough for now...to remember, if only for a second or two, with total clarity.

An ecstasy which mystics stive for as being the divine godliness which is within all humans. Meditation or contemplation, or even extreme happiness or sorrow, very often prompts an ecstatic moment and I think that it is possible to live entirely with that ecstasy "running in the bakground". I am glad you experienced it  |

That peek into higher consciousness is how we evolve. A new perspective which points to what humanity must strive for, a direction of intent. Now the question is; what are the issues that hinder? You know...the struggle gives meaning. |

I am glad you experienced it I believe instead of it running in the background one can be forever enveloped in the light of truth. |

Absolutely, truth lines is the existence of daily living but if you were to spend all your waking and functioning hours in a state of ecstatic rapture, you could end up with a noisome sticky label.
Running in the background is far more desirable as it is a private retreat of peace.
