I dont know, just try to explain it. I had an experience that changed my worldview forever when i was 15, and the cause was my contemplation of general relativity, and suddenly i got it. Everything changed, i grasped reality in a way i never could before. One realisation triggered another one and another one, and i felt so light i could fly, but i was terribly confused. But it all fell into place, it was a true moment of enlightenment. I was knocked out for maybe 1 hour. Everything i ever felt shifted and felt different, so much more real, what i touched was more real, the ground under my feet was more real. I realized that the material around me, the atoms, are BILLIONS of years old. I grasped that my existence is possible only because my ancestors never failed to find a mate and reproduced for an unbroken chain of millions of years.

And everything changed, forever. Afterward, walking felt different because for me what i am walking on had changed forever. I grasped a more awesome reality and when i did, i knew things would never ever be the same again. I think this is what buddhists call enlightenment.

And i need to share one 10-minute video with you that expresses this feeling.



Anyone else had this experience? Some people even have it 2 or 3 times during their lifetime. Sadly, most people never experience it.
