What is a religious experience? Does it involve having a personal experience with God?
I can be at the land’ send at the beach with the ocean’s fringe licking and tickling my feet. The universe opens up to me. The ocean’s water contains the history of evolution and at the same time contains the present. It is the same ocean that touches the distant foreign shores of Japan, China, France, Israel, Africa …
This to me is to experience both the Sacred and the Profane.
