Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
In many of the other descriptions within the general category of extreme emotion, the emotion generating the experience is negative. But it is also possible to provoke a spiritual experience via intense and overwhelming happiness and euphoria.
Memory often seems to be a weak substitute for the actual moment itself, thus any form of spiritual experience is more likely to come at the time the happiness was felt – at the time the event that caused all this happiness occurred.
In the example here it was the happiness felt from being deeply and overwhelmingly in love.
A description of the experience
Time stands still
Whenever I hear you my heart bursts in joy
Whenever I see you my heart swells with love
Whenever I feel you my heart beats faster and faster
But whenever we make love my heart stops
Because time stands still
