    Neither did I though I've seen it a few times before.
    Anyway you know what was awesome? I was sitting there last night thinking about God, and all of a sudden everything in my view danced into life and all of the animation around me was very playful, and just knowing God brings in a sensation that is quite beyond words or the comprehension of those who haven't felt Her. I really dont speak about it much anymore and realize how useless it can be to even attempt to tell other people about the wonders of searching for God but, what the fuck, I cant help myself sometimes!

    a place where not everyone speaks english as a first language?

    i know raison d'etres isn't technically english, but it has gained popularity as a phrase used by english speakers anyway... like hors' doeuvres

    that sort of happens to me sometimes, but not nearly as intense.

    last night I was laying in my bed, thinking about our reality and existence, when all the little dots on the ceiling started to swirl around really fast, and the light fixture was warping and vibrating. weird....

    That's getting close Josh. Soon the love will come pouring into you in waves like mountains :)
    By the way I just realized that what I intially posted can easily come off as a holier than thou kind of thing, and I apologize because I didnt mean it like that at all. When I say Her referring to God it's just a matter of personal taste, I realize that God is not a human and doesnt have a sex, and when I mention that sensation it's the same that the Buddhist's get, same that the Muslims get, same that even an atheist can get when they feel high from existance alone. The difference would be that a spiritual person would have a reason to be thankful or grateful for their existance and an atheist would feel a sort of inner satisfaction, I imagine? I mean I dont know it's just a guess.
    Anyway we can all feel that love and we can all feel the awe of the wonders of Nature so I really didnt mean to come off as higher than anyone else.

    Anyway to give my opinion on the OP's question, no a label is not necessary. In fact it's rather sad that we have to define ourselves as something in order to seperate from each other. We are all people and we all live on the same rock, float around the same burning thing, contained in the same universe, and so on. God is for all of us equally, but if anything we should have empathy for those who cant seem to understand that

    pppffffff that's just another word created by us to define that which we clearly dont understand. Humans are generally weak when it comes to psychonautic exploration, what can I say? Its true

    it was too good an opportunity to tease her back for getting me on not knowing some german word. it was vindication of the most light hearted form.
