So I want to get off the topic of bashing for a while and go to something we can all (theists and atheists alike) talk about.

Sam Harris is an advocate of spiritual experiences which may or may not be connected to religion.

I was hoping everyone who frequents the R/S forum could share a spiritual experience they've had.

I've had two, both when I was 22 and starting to hone my LDing skill. They were both lucid dreams with such clarity and power that I felt so much at peace that I would describe it as pure nirvana. Neither lasted long, these blasts of bliss seemed to make my brain wake up faster, but both left a permanent imprint on me.

My brother had recently went to Museum of Natural History in Washington DC and followed the whole trace of our evolutionary past and described it as a spiritual experience.

So what spiritual experiences have you guys had? And theists are more than welcome to share their religious spiritual experiences as well without fear of being insulted or debated with; this is meant for all of us to share, not to debate.
