Yes. A feeling of clarity and words just flowed without me having to think about what I was saying. It was like a higher energy had taken over. I was filled with love and joy, and it just flowed out of me.
It started happening when I became a born-again Christian and didn't understand why all the other Christians could speak in tongues but I couldn't. That just never happened to me. But when I prayed and prayed and prayed for the "gift of the Holy Spirit" as they call it, I had a different type of experience.
It still happens now sometimes, so it had nothing to do with being a Christian. It's just that Christians are probably better at 'surrendering to a higher power' which is what's required to have that sort of experience.
I don't have that daily interaction like Carla does though. I've always thought that must be really cool, but such a connection has always eluded me, even back when I was a Christian. For me, it just happens spontaneously, usually when I'm intensely praying for someone or in a moment of intense interaction.
