And because what I experienced is of exceptional beauty, fantastic and magnificent, I am passing it on to you.
Describing what I encountered is far from easy. Its magnitude, its all-encompassing appeal is so extensive, so far-reaching that our language simply lacks the words, the vocabulary to convey this type of content.
An analogy is probably best to give an impression of the sheer size of this perception: - Suppose we stand before a skyscraper, say, only one single foot away from it, - we see the stones immediately in front of our eyes, perhaps a few windowsills. We also sense the building extending further up, right and left, but we don't take in the structure as a whole. There's no orientation how huge it possibly could be, unless we step back, far back, to perceive its entirety.
The same applies to my experience. - Daily life, - that what we experience each single day, - resembles such a skyscraper. We stand so close to it, are so involved in all its turbulent events, its feelings, its challenges that we get no idea, not even a notion of its Entirety, its Totality, how vast it truly is. Only when we perceive it from a new, a distant angle, do we become aware of the sheer magnitude of what we are involved in, - of life's immense, fantastic, formative power, of its mysterious origin, and of the majesty and grandeur of That which manifests this all.
