Question:
Why is it that when people talk of ecstasy or nirvana,
they actually feel the feelings you describe (joy, peace, etc.)?
God’s answer:

a slow ascent. In my case, as God explained:
Split second
You don’t have time to relish the experience
-
How high a person goes:
Simultaneous reaction
They are on a much shorter leash. They don’t go far.
They stay aloft but they never get beyond the clouds.
-
Ecstasy and rapture are treated as one and the same experience.
They are not. What rapture is will be explained later.

consciousness is intact – you are still aware of your self – your mind is just
