Background
A description of the experience
Listening to the organist playing in an empty cathedral, or looking at the stars on a summer night ” [or similar emotional experiences] “ may cause a welling up of emotions which moisten the eyes, accompanied by an expansion of consciousness … And – if the experience is very intense – leads into the ‘oceanic feeling of limitless extension and oneness with the universe.
