I'll tell you what happened to me today and in doing so hopefully give you another perspective on what you experience when the spirit touches you.
Ok, a fairly ordinary day only something significant happened which wasn't upsetting in itself but which brought my mood down enough to promise me a bad day. I decided to do some things (which I normally do) to get my mind off it. So I took the dog for a walk only this time I wasn't thinking about the weight I would potentially lose, or my fitness, instead I was thinking about me (my life, my thoughts on things), basically assessing the way I view shit. I took my dog into a rocky area I normally wouldn't and sat on top of a cliff to enjoy the scenery. Then I finally got to thinking. I didn't have an epiphany or obtain inner peace (the strict sense). I walked the rest of the way to finish the walk home and when I arrived, I had a great feeling. I made a salad sandwich which would blow your head off - so impressive was it that I made some fresh squeezed juice (sitting next to me right now) and my mind isn't at all concerned with this morning.
My interpretation could go in several directions here. I can say that god heard my need to get things out of my mind and rewarded my efforts with happy feelings. or I can admit that the results of my actions were the same as the goal I set out to achieve.
