Have you ever experienced something like this before?

Question

Ok, my first week at college. I went to the concert they put on for students, but not liking rap, I left.

I wandered around and came across the small religious room they had with different religious symbols on it and such and..lets make this short!

The room was cool, empty, fountain in the middle.
I wandered around in it, layed down, sat on the floor as I listened to my Mansun album "Six". Paul's album critizing his religion, talking deeply as most of his songs some-what do (ok, the religious part anyway).

*********
It felt WONDERFUL! I felt sadness, anger, happiness, excitement, peace, confusion, understanding, flashing all within only minutes as i listened. A LOT of pure joy! I did shake a little and almost/kinda cried.

So, has anyone ever done something like this and felt all those emotions so purely.

Please explain.

thanks!

So many people are answering 'Yes, but not anger, confusion, etc..' which is -not- what I asked in the question. I am asking about having expirienced all these different emotions one after another within like a minute.. not just pure joy, I'm talking all of them. Also, religion answers are great -but- no-one is explaining that they felt anger, fear, sadness,.. mainly people are just saying in general they felt a surge of emotion... not what I am talking about!

Answer 2

yes i know what you mean i have experienced many things like this because of the Good Lord... like for example ( so i can relate to you) ... i decided one day.. im gu na read Genesis... and so i did... it was a beautiful hot day outside and all of a sudden!! it started raining while it was just hot and gorgeous and still bright!! i live in canada...and that kind of weather is unusual...when it rains it gets gloomy...well... something told me to go outside and read it...so i felt...hey its pretty ill go read...and i was reading about rain and trees and wind etc... and as i read...all of these things made themselves known! it was strange! i felt so weird...like the hair on my body was standing up in ovation lol... and so i felt, as i sat on my front steps, look around the corner to the back of the house.... and so i got up and walked towards the back... i stopped dead in my tracks and looked at a promise God has made to me, " i will never destroy the Earth by flood again" as i looked at the most prominent , beautiful double-rainbow i have ever seen. i must have been 16 or 15 ...i dont know...but i remember that...and i just.. cried.. it was just so touching it really was... i still remember that feeling

Answer 3

OH YES! That happens every time i really connect with god and let him into me. It IS a wonderful feeling, isn't it! Except for me there is not any confusion, anger, sadness, there is only JOY! I think you should join a christian group, and really start to listen to what God wants to tell you. Just kneel, and pray, or just listen, ask Him to guide you, or let others lay hands on you and pray. If you let Him speak, he will. Trust Him!

Answer 4

Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. I'd like to know more about the place that you were in though. The paragraph is kindof hard to understand.

What you experienced was definately spiritual. I'm not sure that is was the presence of God though. When you get into God presence it's very much like that, however it should never be confusing or make you angry.

Please be careful about going there next time. It is possible that it wans't from God, therefore it is some bad spiritual thing. I'd love to talk about it more with you, so please contact me if you like. God Bless

Answer 5

Sometimes... It's a kind of pure emotion. It's a moment in time in which you can feel incredible extrememes of emotion, and it's amazing when it happens. It's hard to explain when you experience it, and im sure you know what I am talking about.

God Bless

Answer 6

I felt that way , the first time I attended church in a different country. I felt like even if Iam far away from home, I have a home here. Though we speak different languages, we believe in one thing .. God.

Answer 7

Sure, you can do it in any religious or meditation room. It is a never-ending process though. You continue to learn and rise from your current misunderstandings.

Answer 8

Dear Mavis Knows: It was a spiritual experience, I think. Experiences are what take us beyond "faith" to Certainty. Experiences are very important. But we must not become "addicted" to them. In other words, as they occur through your life, they mean everything to you. . .but you don't forget and begin to lose Certainty when they are not occurring. That's very important also. Drug induced experiences are worth nothing at all in terms of your spiritual beliefs becoming Certainty.

The Holy Spirit can quicken the body which causes a trembling, as you described. I believe the Holy Spirit was making Itself felt within you. He makes you laugh and cry, during those experiences. You are describing His encompassment of you with an experience of all seeing and knowing through Him. The Holy Spirit and the Father are Spirit-Mind vibrational Beings of a type of frequency ; that frequency and vibration is the Force, or Power of God that brings Thought into manifestation. Our bodies are "quickened" by His frequency flowing through the physical. The anger comes out of the soul due to the Separation. The Connection to the Holy Spirit is so strong in this experience that anger rushes forward in His Presence due to the state we are in [Separation] and the HUNGER our spirit feels for Home. It should be followed by tears, representing wide-open love that is locked deeply within the soul, and normally we are not in "touch" with it. Also, fear is part of the Separation feelings within the soul. It came up and out also. Human minds think slowly compared to spirit. The soul is that part of you that is unconscious to you and pure spirit. What comes out of it to be cleansed can definitely occur in a few moments - even with the rapidity of spirit thinking at its natural rate - something like a nanosecond. ! You were dealing with spirit - the spirit within - not your human conscious mind.

Enjoy carrying the memory with you and look forward to more in your lifetime.

Myself, when I first read a book called, "The Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls," I came to a portion that spoke of Jesus. This was quickly followed by an inner vision of Him, in bright technicolor, in which I saw myself running after Him trying to catch up to Him as He walked on ahead at some distance. Although I called out to Him, in this vision, He kept walking ahead. Finally, He turned to look back over His shoulder and said to me, "Follow me." The vision ended and, I felt that what had happened was somehow like. . .real. I did take his advice.

Another time, I read a book about Paul's experience on the Road to Damascus. A paragraph in that book made a deep, excited impression upon me. Suddenly, inside of myself, sparkling light shot through me like Fourth of July sparklers! I could not believe what was occurring inside the mid-section of my body. Lights and celebration were the two experiences inside of me.

Welcome to Certainty!

Answer 9

The closest I've experienced -- near mystical experiences (described in link below).

I used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ. (e.g., see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html ).

Cordially,
