Have you ever had a "moment of clarity?"?

Someone turned me on to the fact that he was talking about breaking through into a higher state of consciousness.\n\nBreaking out of our ordinary reality into something bigger.

yes. Sometimes it has been frustrating.  I didn't understand that other people actually couldn't hear, see, or sense the things i do.\ntelepathy\nreading auras\nhealing energy flowing thru me to others\nclairvoyance\nsometimes i just have to get away from everybody in order to quit reading their minds.\n\nsome things a person just has to get used to.\ni don't talk much about this to many people,\nit weirds them out.\nrh

I was about 10 years old. and we all go swimming at the beach.  The beach was noisy; loud with color and swarming people.  Im deaf, but even I ehard the noise pervading the air. The low rumble of voices, the riot of color and teeming flesh...very aggravating.  \n\nThe sand was hot, but the waters of the Pacific were chill.  What a delightful feel!  I leapt into the waves and swam out.  Once beyond the breakers, I turned and rested my back upon the waters, floating arms spread out and eyes closed.  I breathed deeply, smelling the salt on the breeze.  I could feel the warm sun upon my skin and the cool waters on my back.  I was being rocked by the waves, a gentle bobbing, up and down, up and down....There was no noise, no riot of color, no chaos of teeming flesh invading my space.  just me, the sun, the wind, and the sea. \n\nI floated on those waters for a full 15 minutee, just enjoying the sensual experience of hot, cool, and wet. That was all i was concious of, what I was sensing.  I ahd no thoughts, no worries, not obligations.  I may have dozed off too, I cant remember...but eventually I swam back to shore feeling the most calm and refreshed I have ever felt in my life, before and since.\n\nI have never had a moment like that since, and I doubt I ever will again.  and thats okay.  The peace i gained that day is forever contained in that memory and will be with me so long as that memory lives still in my mind.  Even recalling it brings me back to that peaceful joy.

Yes, I experience it, usually when I'm reminded through some event happening (its mostly a very vague reminder) but the memories rush back, and hit home as hard as it just happened the day before. I find myself whispering to myself, "No, no" or some other thing in a vain attempt to somehow make things right in the past. I try not to think about it, but it mostly ruins my mood for that very moment, and when I'm with company, they notice that I space out for a few seconds. In time though, things get better. For me it has, and the occurence of such flashbacks are getting lesser and lesser with time. Talking about it (with the right person) helps a lot. If you have supportive family and friends, thats always a blessing. I give credit to my girlfriend, who has helped me immensely through this.

I have sensed the voice of God, but not heard an "audible voice". It has been a still, small voice that is more of an impression than anything else. And, it hasn't happened in about 20 years for me. The times I remember it happening were very good and peaceful experiences and not "weird" or anything. Nothing fell down from the sky, there were no bright lights...just a peace and the sense of being communicated with from something quite holy and beyond normal experience. It's something to keep private in one's heart, I think.

there was one time when i started praying very hard to god....things were not going good in the family...so i just had to rely on him...at point this happened...i started getting vision of the future..in the beginning i used to see the future of my dad only....they were negative in nature, yet came true.i even got a vision of 2004's election where i saw bush cheating to stay in whitehouse.  this came true too....everytime i saw all this i felt helpless cuz i knew that i had no power to change anything...after some time i  just got fed up...n once again i started  telling god not to show me this kind of stuff...but it was of no avail...i kept getting those visions...i got frustrated...then once i cried during prayer..i screamed 'please, have mercy on me'....after this i never saw anything else...i returned back to my normal life.

Interesting.  I remember sitting outside late at night with a girlfriend.  It was going to storm, and there were already flashes of lightning in the clouds.  We were on the frontal boundary, so the winds were rocking us back and forth while the flashes in the sky lit up our surroundings.  I knew that the raw forces of nature were so much more powerful than I was, yet I somehow felt strangely magnified within them.  For a moment I was in tune with nature.  I loved that time and place with everything I had.  Then, it was gone with the rain.  \nSo, yes, I have felt that feeling.  I relive it sometimes in my memory of a night long gone.

This was really cool.  I had been a Christian at that point for about 2 years.  I was driving to go see a friend who was in a really bad situation and I was praying.  I suddenly realized that I wasn't speaking English anymore.  I didn't know what I was saying, but I could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit warming me and a calming sense washed over me.  I also knew just what to say and do when I saw my friend.  I've never been the same since.

Yes, I have. Once when I was really upset I was talking to God and I felt someone hug me and I knew it was God. The inner pain I was feeling left and I felt much better.

The evening when I held my just-born daughter in my hand. Millions of thoughts crossed my mind, right from Genes to becoming a grandfather one day.\n\nThat evening humbled me, made me forget my anger towards my parents, all the animosity I had with some friends. To that extent it affected me, my mom said with tears, "Im seeing a different son now, this time its for good.."\n\nIn short that day changed me from a "Boy" to a "Man"...\n\n.:Fishie:.

yeah i broke it\n\nI figured out in my mind that it was simply a preconceived event played out in your mind like a dream you had already had.  So that if the event were to occur you feel as though you have already experienced it, so I took up a challenge and told myself the next time it happened i would make sure to do not as i remembered.\n\nIndeed I did, in spring 2004, while at work I had deja vu and behold i was preparing to talk to someone, so i said i just own't, and walked on, the feeling went away in an instant and i have not had deja vu since.\n\nIf i do, i'll do the same thing.  If you wonder then why you don't constantly have it, it is because it is a specific event, not generic like saying hello to someone, but like all the pieces of a chess set have to be laid out in a perfect way, that your mind can see ahead the next few moves.

Yes, and what a trip. There was this guy in my house. I sensed it. I flew up out of bed and this male silhouette is in my living room. Only he's just black like the absence of matter. But he was there. I yelled at him to GET OUT. He went through, literally, the door, without opening it. Then I looked down at my hands and they were that weird black. I flew back into my body and sat up. It just happened.\n\nAnother time I was meditating. I saw this incredibly white light. But it didn't hurt my eyes. And I felt totally safe,satisfied, contented and euphoric all at once. It lasted an instant and was gone. This I induced.

are you able to notice your breaths for a minute without having a single thought?
