The light continued for some minutes, and at the same time, she
felt a great spiritual uplifting and an enlargement of her mental powers,
as if the limitations of the body were transcended, and her soul's
capacities were in a measure set free for the moment. The experience was
unique, above and beyond the ordinary current of human life, and while the
vision or impression passed away, a permanent effect was produced upon her
mind. She had never heard the term 'cosmic consciousness,' and did not know
that the subject it covers is beginning to be discussed."
It must be noted that in these experiences, the idea most strongly felt was
the one of the "power and presence of God," and we are impressed with the
fact that, no matter how varied may be the _creeds_ of the world, as
founded by "saviours" and incarnations of God, there is a unity among all
races, as to the fact of a one supreme universal power, which is Aum, the
Absolute, and which must represent perfect love and perfect peace, since
all who have glimpsed their unity with this power, testify to a feeling of
happiness, peace and satisfaction, rare and exalted.
