Regardless of your beliefs, can you?

Question

give an example of a spiritual moment in your life? Even if you don't believe in a soul, can you remember something that made you feel connected to the universe in a way that seemed spiritual? For believers, can you give an example of a time you felt close to God or just very spiritual?
Just asking out of curiosity, I am feeling down today and was looking for some uplifting moments to think about.

Answer 1

I was riding my bicycle south down the west coast of the US. At Salt Point State Park, California, I set up camp (illegally) on a high point overlooking the Pacific ocean, concealed by the vegetation. I had 3 or 4 dollars left, and life was iffy, at best. Watching the sun set, having no idea how the tomorrow was going to pan out, peace came upon me. I had reached absolute freedom, for the first time in my life. I knew I had to find work in a new place, in a new land, the next day, and I didn't know how I was going to find it. I had, for the first time ever, learned how to live in the moment.
I found work the next day.

Answer 2

I feel connected to some great force everyday.

I have no idea what GOD is - I am not religious in fact I deny the all religions and man made belief systems, they are narrow and small minded - the concept of God is greater than any of us can ever imagine God is not keeping score making sure we dont sware, blaspheme are gay straight transvestite or what ever GOD is a force that is so intangible we are stupid to even attempt to think we can answer the question what is GOD. For me GOD is the life I live within GOD is the think that connects all humanity GOD is neither male or female - GOD is non judgmental GOD is pure love GOD is acceptance of difference GOD is tolerance GOD is the stuff that makes us think GOD is the collective conscience. We can not harm GOD. We are here to create love and be happy. We are not here to judge blame and kill. Anyone who can not appreciate this precious gift called life unfortunately I believe you dont deserve that gift. Anyone that supports a regime that supports war you too dont deserve life. Life is not ours to take away it's our to nourish and make stronger.

My spiritual moment is now.....

Every time I look up to the stars and contemplate the vastness of space. I find the stars and universes and galaxies awe inspiring. So much beauty and violence (yes!) and peace as well. It's everything and nothing at the same time.

Prayer. Whatever I'm going through in my life and I give supplication and petition to God, he always manages to help me and to strengthen me to where I can endure my situation with greater courage or sometimes shifts to where the burden is lighter. I've been through a lot of trying times in my life, but recently it has been difficult; my husband and I have prayed many times and Jehovah always proves himself to be the loving and caring God that he is.
