Suddenly, I realized that the molecules in my body were created in an ancient generation of stars and suddenly that became personal and visceral, not intellectual and I had never had this experience. It was accompanied by bliss, an ecstasy I had never experienced. I discovered in ancient transcripts that this type of experience - a transformational, transcendental experience where you see things as you perceive them but experience them viscerally and emotionally as one, as a part of it - is called samadhi.
