What was the most spiritually profound thing that has happened to you?

Question

Particularly looking for Aethists /pagans / non Jesus slaves, to answer.

Myself - I had a dream - and I walked through a personal hell, not the firey doom, but just empytyness..... and i saw all the shades / ghosts of those i'd wronged, and what each action i took really did, how far the simplest deed travels throughout humanity.

Answer 1

I was at the end of my rope with a major difficulty and had literally hit rock bottom one night and was crying and incredibly depressed and afraid. For the first time in my life, I made the honest and complete choice to give up control of my 'self' (I thought I had done this before but realized that night that I hadn't). When I did, 'something' took over and every racing thought was answered and was put at peace. This 'something' was something that was always with me and that I was completely a part of but it was something that is almost never experienced because, I realized, our ego voices drown it out. I felt so not-alone and that this thing was completely non-judgemental and that there was no such thing as sin, guilt, etc.

Answer 2

I grew up in a non-christian house and in fact was taught about all sorts of nonsense from reincarnation, astro-projection, out of body experiences, etc. I had very, very minimal exposure to church of any kind and the little I had was from a grandmother who on rare occassions took me to church. At age 12, I had THE most vivid dream that to this very day stands out in my mind more so than any other I've ever had. I dreamt that Jesus was in my front yard and he was absolutely radiant and was wearing a vividly purple robe. He told me that I was to warn everyone that the water was coming and that they should all be ready. As I went through the neighborhood in my dream, no one would listen and I was in absolute agony and terror. And I could see the water beginning to roll through the streets of my neighborhood in swells and waves. And as I began to cry and sob, Jesus picked me up in his arms like an infant and held me tightly and it was without a doubt the most peaceful feeling that I have ever, ever felt. (Incidentally, I've never felt anything even close to this in real life.) This feeling was so incredible and I felt so safe, I cannot begin to describe. I woke up sobbing that morning and could not talk about that dream to anyone for a very long time. I did not become an overnight believer because of that dream and in fact did not become a believer until about 30 years later but the dream stayed with me ALWAYS. As a believer now, I've thought of that dream many, many times over the years and I believe that the Lord was telling me then that I am to spread his word and not to fear for he is with me.

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
