This is *very* similar to experience(s) of mine, which I often
associate with the apostle Paul's "Third Heaven" experience in 1
Corinthians. Reading the above helps to further validate the
nature of such experience - it would be interesting to hear of
other contributors' similar experiences.

Thanks for sharing this.
