Religious Experiences
- Thread starter Psalm23
- Start date
I've had lots of religious experiences. Was there a specific type of experience you're interested in reading?
Many.
Just from the past couple days?
The whiplash within my very bones at the roiling, chaotic, climate change addled world we now live in. I feel about as discombobulated as the lands around here are. One day, such abnormally high temperatures it could have been a day during MidVernal's tide. Within thirty-six hours, we went back to more proper MidWinter's tide weather and there was a dusting of snow. This is something of a 50ºF whiplash. It is unreal. Lady Winter is trying to be where she ought. But the change? The change is inevitable. So much is being upended. I do not think humans understand what they have wrought. Or perhaps they do, and that is why they distract themselves over stupid things that do nothing to help facilitate our necessary changes and transformations.

It could be a dream or vision or something you heard, saw , or felt that was significant to you. It could be a time if any of having a gut feeling about needing to leave somewhere. My mom had that once where something was telling her to get her kids and leave the park right away.
Did she ever find out why?

She said later on someone else told her a person was in the park trying to kidnap a kid.

I was camping one time and the idea came into my head to hide the pushbike that I had used to to get to my campsite. I did this straight away and laid low out of site of the track. A few minutes later police turned up on the track where my bike was. I could hear them talking but it was too far away for me to make out what they were saying. Later on when I left the site I met someone who told me that someone had committed suicide not far from where my camp was.
I experienced the sun arise during a blue-sky, mirror calm sea once whilst on a small yacht, and can imagine how those so long ago in the past might have experienced this as being religious, but where it was just an awe inspiring event for me. 
And for me, essentially every awe inspiring event I experience I categorize as being religious. This morning it was the sparkling frost on the grass when I went to put the garbage out of the waste disposal truck. I was appropriately appreciative to nature for allowing me to experience the phenomenon.I experienced the sun arise during a blue-sky, mirror calm sea once whilst on a small yacht, and can imagine how those so long ago in the past might have experienced this as being religious, but where it was just an awe inspiring event for me.
