People of Lemmy, have you ever had what some would consider a "spiritual" experience? (lemm.ee)

Closest I can think of is sitting in an onsen (hot spring) in Arima, Japan, and suddenly feeling like I am one with the world - totally relaxed, without a single worry in my mind and feeling that everything will be ok. Can't say how long it lasted, 5-15 minutes? Haven't experienced that sort of peace ever since.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have access to such a deep sense of peace for more than a few minutes per a lifetime?
