Jenny A ; Arguments from personal experience not verifiable by others are essentially worthless for determining what the world is and how it works. What you've just said is "I feel at one with the cosmos." Fine I won't dispute that. But I will dispute whether you are really one with the cosmos. You aren't.
Of course we are one with the cosmos, everything in the cosmos is working together as one, everything came from the so called big bang, its just one big ocean, and everything that appears to be separate is the ocean, its our senses that make us believe all is separate. You are seeing what you see through your mind, but the mind cannot see beyond what the mind see's, your little package that is wrapped up in skin, is designed to feel separate, so as to live your life as a so called human being. This universal consciousness is all there is, this consciousness isn't within us, we are within it, and we are not separate from it, if we were then there would be something outside of the universe, outside of consciousness, but there isn't, its all an illusion, and it can be a beautiful illusion if we realize it is an illusion, it becomes a game, we no longer take life so serious, this is what is known as enlightenment, or awakening.
