You know those moments when time falls away and the world around you seems to disappear. Even your own body seems irrelevant.
It can occur when we are with someone we love and who love us. Relationships to others are the most spontaneous and universal ways of experiencing it, and something that most can relate to.
Or it can happen when we do something that we get immersed in. I experience this when I draw portraits. It can also happen in meditation.
This is what A Course in Miracles calls the holy instant, “a miniature of eternity.”
