Experiences on the Tree of Life, Mine and Yours

Eieperiences on the Tree of tHe (noted by athletesduring sports activities) 1) Detachment A sense of contact with people being obliterated, feeling ice-cold emotionally. Feeling stripped away from all lies (Keter) and myths of institutions. 2) Being in the present A heightened sense of presence, an internal sense of rightness. (Klwkhma) 3) Peace, calm, stillness A race car driver had the same heartbeat at 600 mph as when sitting still. A feeling of silence, even in a crowd. Peace and silence felt as an integral part of existence. (Bina) 4a) Floating, flying, weightlessness A feeling of pressure being lifted off, like dancing on space, buoyant. Ones' flesh seems light and diaphanous like in an x-ray. (Hesed) 4b) Ecstasy A surge of overpowering joy. Sense of a magic kingdom. (Hesed) Can come from rhythmic movement. 5) Power, control Feeling of being crazy happy, intoxicated with ones' perfect coordination and balance. Feeling that one can (Gevura) afford to goof around because of feeling happy. 6) Freedom A feeling of escape from the laws of gravity, able to walk (Tiferet) on water. 7) Acute well-being A sense of energy, cheerfulness, like a 3rd wind. (Netzakh) 8) Mystery and awe A feeling like treading on "sacred ground." (Hod) 9a) Feelings of immortality A sense of connection with ancestors or capable of outdistancing decay, change, death. (Yesod) 9b) Depth sharing A sense of communion with a group of other worshippers as if all were mutually self-aware and loving as a single organism. (Yesod) 10) Unity A feeling of pulling ones' whole being together, a lifetime passing before ones' eyes. Even feeling connected with ones' opponent. Being in rhythm with the universe -sensing the universe is a cosmos not a chaos and humans a part of it as day or night.
