Experience description:

In 2002 I was in my living room mid morning, when for some reason I got up and went upstairs to my bedroom and laid on the bed.  It was a beautiful day and sunshine filled the room.  From above me on the ceiling an even brighter light emerged and came toward me.  My heart flew out of my chest and was beating wildly about an arms length from me as if straining to get to that light.  The light enveloped me completely and I was in the most outrageous love hug I'd ever felt.  I was being loved to an absolutely ridiculous degree.  It was PURE love.  I was raised in a very loving family (atheist but very loving :) and I had never known love like this before.  It was other-worldly.  I remember thinking to myself, 'oh my god!  I can't believe I'm getting this!'  I never wanted it to stop.  I could have been in that love hug FOREVER, blissfully.  I would have gladly stayed there for eternity, I was absolutely and completely fulfilled.  I don't know how long it lasted but slowly the love hug relaxed its grip on me and the light receded back into the ceiling, my heart came back into my chest and I got off the bed feeling wonderful.  I drove to my parent's house and told them I just met God.

In 2012 I walked into a convenient store to buy cigarettes.  It was midday with many people around.  Out of nowhere I felt warm water pouring into the top of my head.  It was a thick stream of it as if someone were pouring it on me from an enormous pitcher above me.  I didn't taste it but it felt delicious.  It felt like liquid love.  It came into the top of my head then down to my heart and then love-light burst out from my heart in every direction.  It was as if I were radioactive and emitting love.  Light streamed out of my heart like I was a miniature sun.  And the water kept pouring in and the light kept streaming out and I was wrapped up in that completely insane love again and I couldn't believe what was happening.  I looked around to see if anybody was noticing what the heck was going on with me.  Everybody was.  They would look at me then look away when I met their eyes, then look again.  One woman at the register across from me would sneak a peak then duck behind a pretzel counter stand then look again then duck back.  The man waiting in line in front of me kept turning around and looking at me.  I realized they did in fact know something was going on, and I realized that they recognized this and wanted it.  Then it was my turn in line so I asked for cigarettes and the cashier was looking at me in a daze, then said, 'uh, yeah, ok' and lowered his head and put his hand up to his eyebrows as if shielding his eyes.  He got my cigarettes, I paid and thanked him and he said thank you to me as if I'd done him a huge favor.  The water stopped pouring when I got in my car.  I felt so incredibly peaceful.  My cat and dog wouldn't leave me alone when I got home!
