I felt like I was struck by lightning. In an instant, a wave of purity blasted through me, a force so powerful that I couldn't breathe. I felt every cell in my body change and become Light. I opened my eyes, and I could feel Love everywhere, the most divine, perfect Love that I could ever perceive, so Perfect that it was beyond comprehension, beyond name. The force of that Love was so strong, I felt my heart exploding, my body straining to contain it; any stronger, and I knew I would die, I would dissolve into Love itself. Then suddenly, like music with no sound, I was aware of an overwhelming consciousness, a Presence in everything around me. Like a silent gong being struck, every atom in existence rang out with the words, I AM.

Everything was alive. Everything was conscious. Everything was One.
