So I had an unexplainable experience..

[Withawhy]

A few months ago I had an experience.

It was May, I believe. I was in the kitchen with my friend. We were talking about robots. More specifically being able to plug your mind into a computer and control the robot using your mind. What the robot saw, you saw, it was projected into your brain. What the robot felt, you felt. Then, as the robot, what would happen if you walked into the room where you were controlling it, you looked at yourself, picked up a gun and shot your real self. Both you and the robot would die, of course. But would the same thing happen to both of you?

This of course got into a conversation about death, humans as basically organic robots and what happens when you die, if anything. This then lead to a conversation about infinity, what was before the big bang, what is happening right now to progress "time". This then lead to reality, existence, what "is". What is the present moment. Trying to figure this out. This is where I stopped remembering the conversation.

All I remember is shooting questions back and forth to each other with this strange feeling we were suddenly being watched. If I were by myself it actually would have frightened me, like we were entering something we shouldnt. Suddenly I entered another state of mind. Time didnt exist. It didnt matter. I felt like I was outside of our reality in a pure, perfect place full of all knowledge, everything made sense. I'm not sure what then happened, I think someone entered the room and I snapped out of it with the strangest, biggest smile on my face. I would describe it as pure joy, love & astonishment. But here is the weird part.

I looked over at my friend and he as well had the biggest smile on his face, astonishment. We both entered this at the exact same time and left at the exact same time. Our minds somehow connected. It could have been minutes or a split second, I honestly dont know. It was weird. It was supernatural. It wasnt anything I thought could happen through just a conversation. It wasnt anything I thought could happen in general. If it just happened to me I probably would have eventually convinced myself it didnt happen, but the fact it happened to both of us at the same time made it something real. We were finishing eachothers sentences. We knew eachother experienced the same thing by the looks on our faces. Sheer joy.

If I could describe it, it was like a burst of feeling & knowledge at the same time, but the knowledge being learned through the feeling, if that makes sense. I didnt hear a voice or anything. I felt I learned about our reality by the experience. I just knew things. One of the strangest and most amazing thing we both felt was the realization that death wasnt a bad thing. A begining. It was powerful. Another overwelming feeling we felt was that we are all one. Everyone alive is one. I could go on and on about things.

I dont know what the heck happened, but I know it was important. The next morning I woke up happy, strangely, extremely happy. Ive been on a quest for answers ever since. Here is my question for you guys... has anyone heard of anything like this before or know what it was?

This happens to some people. I don't think there's anything God involved with this one though espically since you didn't get any kind of message from it. There are things in your brain that calculate time, knowledge, and so on and you can get electrical storms in your brain that mess with those and can distort your reality.

As far as I can figure, feeling a strong prescense and feeling God are two different things. In the Bible, when people felt God, they always saw Him and he told them something important. In other situations where God is not present, I think it's the "presence of another person" part of your brain, overloading to feel something important.

Anyway, in conclusion, those exact things happen to some people sometimes so I'm going to say that this is just a normal brain thing.

ALSO, time and space are interconnected so there was no before the big bang. There was no time. God exists outside of time. He created space and therefore created time. God is too intelligent for us to fully understand so we can't really get a good idea of what he did or does sometimes.

The weird thing was that it happened to both of us at the same time. As if our minds had connected for a moment.

I would consider myself christian, my friend agnostic/atheist. Right after when we both snapped out of it and had an overwhelming sense of joy he says "Was that God???" I thought so. We both thought so. It was the strangest feeling ever. At that moment, it was 100% god. At that moment, I could have died for what I believed in, it was that strong.

Whatever it was, it did teach me many things in an instant.

1) We are all one, all one in the same. Therefor we should all treat eachother with kindness and respect. But more, we should help eachother out. We are all in this together.

2) Death is not an end. Death is a begining. I cant describe how powerful this message was. We both felt it. I remember thinking how funerals should be happy celebrations for moving on to something better.

Over the next few weeks, I took the knowledge this experience gave me and applied to to religion. Ive learned the following things:

The trinity is true.

Father = God outside of our existence
Holy Spirit = The energy of god that is in us all, which makes us alive, the soul
Son = The human who had a direct connection to the holy spirit

I believe what we connected to was the holy spirit. I've since read what jesus said and what he teached in detail and I can tell you for certain, what I and my friend had connected to, he was directly connected to. What he said, how he acted parralelled completely the thoughts that went through my head.

You must forgive people.

"Saving" someone is true, even logically and scientifically. The energy which makes you, your soul, is one of the most precious gifts you could ever have. People dont realize how incredibly precious their consciousness is. I am still thinking about this one, but to have a mind which is not open to the existence of god is turning your back on the fact you have consciousness and will trap you in some way when you die. I'm still trying to find answers on this one, if i learn more I will post them.

There is an absolute right and wrong. That was another overwhelming feeling. There is good and evil and it is a very real thing. We all have built in morals, that is not arguable. Almost like the yin yang shape. I've been wondering if evil is the material that makes up our universe and good is the pure energy that flows through it.

Like einstein was born with a mind which was a genius mathematically, there are also minds born which are geniuses spiritually, which have a closer connection with the holy spirit. I think jesus was the ultimate version of this.

The funny thing is I didnt even think about any of this stuff really before the experience.

Both at ONCE? That's pretty unexplainable biologically so maybe it was something special. It sounds like it is. I've done a lot of research of this subject and this happening to two people at the same time is so unlikely that you could call it a... miracle? But yes, God seems to have done this for a reason for you and maybe for your friend.
