I experienced something unique Saturday night. Something new and unexplainable came over me, hopefully I can layout the words in a way to get the story across in an understandable way.
Driving home with the family after a wonderful day trip across state my wife and I were having a typical conversation. The sun had dropped over the horizon about 30 minutes prior and twilight was quickly fading to darkness. I was looking into the sky and soaking in how beautiful the moon looked shining with what was left of the crescent. The rest of the circle was observable although darkly shaded. Off to the left was Venus, shining in its bright spender. I’ve seen this many times throughout life. Venus travels a small path around the sun and every so often it meets back up with the moon. Still, this seemed more beautiful than ever.
My head went a little fuzzy for a split second and then things were normal. Well, almost normal. It wasn’t anything serious, similar to quickly spinning a 180 to walk another direction. Things were different now. Have you ever watched a science fiction movie and in the sky a couple or more heavenly bodies are easily seen from whatever planet the people are on? You think to yourself how cool and foreign it looks? That was suddenly what I was seeing with the moon and Venus. It appeared foreign and more real than ever. It was a deeper reality of the universe and I could see the universe as a universe, not just as the sky.
A few weeks back I had mentioned how from the top of a mountain I could see the Earth as a rocky planet, this was a similar realization but with space. My body began to “buzz” or “vibrate”, something very unexplainable. Everything was truly perfect at that moment. I felt no emotion just a sense of perfection. Almost like in a daze but without being in one. Everything was normal but nothing was normal. My usual overly active brain was no longer all over the place but some kind of underlying thought process was more focused, aware, and more coherent. It seemed as though there was another person but I knew it was my coinsciousness.
My wife continued talking, she wasn’t aware of what I suddenly felt. My boys were in the backseat doing their own thing. Everything was perfect, everything in the car as well as everything outside of it. My body was electric and alive. Pure energy. Sunday this feeling came and went throughout the day, once arriving at work this morning it hasn’t returned a single time.
Is this what they speak of when Tao is discussed? There is no way possible to explain what has been happening. No words at all. Nothing seems to exist for this. What amuses me most is a few years back I would have made fun of people for discussing something so ridiculous. Here I am laughing at myself for it but differently. What the hell is going on? I don’t know, but it sure is beautiful.

Maybe it was a wordless epiphany! It's not uncommon for me to have brief moments here and there in which everything seems surreal. It's like I'm watching the world through another person's eyes or, maybe, through no eyes at all.
I've always chalked it up to vertigo! :-D
Drugs and a brain tumor
Some would name it as awareness, some other as perhaps the photon belt and etc. etc. who knows... :)
Like it. This post. 'til next time.

A glimpse of Truth!
This reminds me of "The Celestine Prophecy".
Well it took long enough.
Never forget this: the complete picture, if only a glimpse.
From the small and separate you, thinking it is all there is, to the you in everything and everything in you, knowing it is all there is.
Well shared, and well described,even if it is indescribable.
May you find yourself there again and again.
Most certainly not drugs, but a brain tumor is always a possibility.
Took me long enough? I'm surprised it happened this quickly.
I'll need to look into The Celestine Prophecy. If that is similar to my experience it will be good.
