Reply #10: I'll try- [View All]

I think there is no difference between that nice feeling you mentioned and the feeling that believers experience. It is maybe a different interpretation of the same feeling. I , personally, rarely get to feel that feeling. It occurs when I can be purely experiencing what is happening in the moment. It is not a dulling or heightening of perception-more like an acceptance of reality as it is for a fleeting moment, without the cynicism, negativity, and other baggage accompanying most of real life. I wish it was more common-but it is difficult to let go of these habits easily. I believe this is purely immanent and not external in any way.
