at the end of my small awakening, some years ago. I was driving on a near empty freeway, through a desert area, by a very sunny day and at one point, as I was not driving fast and it was clear of traffic I decided to turn around to look at the view of a far downtown, and this time the view was wild, I could see downtown and way beyond it to the ocean. it was pure beauty , sort of ethereal. I turned back and had this flow o gratitude and suddenly I saw I was one with the palm tree on the side of the freeway, one with the tar stain on the ground next to my car, one with the steel side fence bordering the freeway. I felt this sort of bliss, hard to say another word, and suddenly I started to laugh and laugh, everything was so simple, so much more simple than everything I could ever have thought of and it was like how could you not figure that out . So it is so mirroring what you felt at the end of hat you described, I am nearly laughing at this.
I was walking on air for the next three days and then it slowly faded, but, my goodness, that was so great and so cool. The knowledge that everything is way simpler than we think is a lovely little knowledge to keep I think...

Everything makes sense until you try and make sense lol. Like before it filters through the mind it make sense and as soon as you try and make sense it doesn’t make sense lololol.
Thank you both for sharing. I have also had these blissful experiences and couldn't quite make sense of them (after the fact).
I have these random moments where there is a consciousness, or awareness, that is blissful and euphoric ... an awareness of unity or oneness (it's hard to put into words). It feels like opening a doorway and seeing a vast landscape ... and being absolutely one with everything ... in love. Being connected with all about me. And then the door gently closing and coming "back down." It is utterly euphoric, and I am giggly and full of love. I simply can't stop smiling in these moments.
And, when I try to remember or recapture these sensations, it seems to slip through my fingers like grains of sand. What a tease!!!
