What is the closest thing to any religious experience you have had?
Please be as honest as possible.

Made a prayer to God in school i said i wanted all the sexy girls and all of a sudden all the cute grills wanted me , Sadly i was way to much of an insecure neurotic schizoid fag to make a move with any of the girl 2 girls came too me asking me out, one was a litteral 9/10 2 years older than me, all i could say was uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn?

had a christian education with catechism thanks to my friend whose parents were heavily into religion. Have been to church multiple times when I was young. Then I grew up and apart from all of that because sundays were rare and i didn't want to waste 2 hours every weekend in church. I was young and I think I was right at the time. Religion is extremelly personal and shouldn't be obliged on a child. I lost my mum 2 years ago and I thought multiple times about going to church but my grieving process ended and I stopped thinking about it. What about you ?

Through meditation I've reached a point of total 'realisation' of the present moment I was experiencing, being totally aware of all of my senses all at once. It made me realise that everything contributes to consciousness, and its not really 'my' consciousness, but the consciousness of everywhere that I only experience a part of locally.

I don't get it, but you do you.
I'm thinking maybe religion is the next step of nihilism ? Like maybe if no ones watching us right now to protect us, we just have to create one ourselve.

I can see that. Meaning coming out of the pain of meaninglessness.

Either that time on MDMA or that time I got a concussion and hallucinated a bunch of shit.

The first time I finally fucked a girl I wasn't "in love" with. Changed me forever.

What do you mean by religious experience?
