This experience was beyond words, but it's like you are suddenly a part of everything or connected to everything, and you 'know' you're directly participating as a creator in the present creation. You are connected to your 'true nature', which is eternal. You are not guessing this is what's happening, you are defining the meaning of it. It is an extremely peaceful feeling of sacredness, there are no limits. It is not a suggestion, or something interpreted through the senses - you know it is real. There is nothing ever to compare with the experience as far as a profound indication of 'true reality' and 'beingness'. So when it subsided, I was thinking to myself, 'that's cool that that type of experience is even possible'.Quote:Zenmaster wrote: I wonder if perception of intelligent infinity is in any way like a satori?

Zenmaster, how would you define or describe satori? (I know that it is one of many terms used to point to various grades of self-realization, but it's basic meaning escapes me at the moment. I can look it up of course but its meaning to you is most pertinent here.)
