The Mystical Experience
When I transcend my day-to-day world and connect with a force and truth beyond what my eyes see, I sense that I live in a universe with a higher intelligence, that there is a reality that connects us all, beyond words, shape or form. I have glimpsed eternity and it has changed my life. It has allowed me to go through my life knowing that I am not alone, that life is not meaningless.
I experience the deeper meaning of life.A mystical experience is... usually profound and almost always positive in nature, leading people to move in an ethical direction, leading them to be more confident, to feel that there is meaning in life; leading them to fear death less, making them take a more healthy approach to life in general. These are experiences that are sometimes related to nature, music, and feelings that there have been meaningful coincidences in the person's life, that how could these things have happened except for an anti-chance power. Sometimes they are conversion experiences and these can be of a gradual nature or a sudden nature.
