How coool!! You have really had some amazing experiences lately!

I have input, though I have not experienced this exact thing. I have read about others experiencing it, and a friend once told me of a silence that lasted about 5 seconds that reminds me very much of this.

I believe you experienced an expanded awareness where your higher self (or spirit guide, etc.) communicated to you using an apt quote stored in your memory (thanks to Walt), showing you a peek of the powerful being that you are that you are unaware of because you are in body and hence have gone through the "veil of forgetfulness".

When people have NDEs and OBEs, and they experience a bit of who they truly are outside of body, they often describe returning to body as feeling awkward, superficial, etc. When having an OBE or even an extended consciousness where you see from what seems 360 degrees all around and know all that is going on, feeling everything, you would be aware of the energy running through your body, much like the water through the garden hose. This energy is also called kundalini. It is IMO a life force that is a small tendril of a much larger power source that connects us all.

Anyway, with your recent fairy sighting experience and this, it sounds like your consciousness is expanding quickly. It is a wondrous thing. I feel connected to you and when you describe your experiences I feel like I witness them somehow. Or witnessED them (perhaps my spirit was there).

I really love how you allow yourself to feel and remember your experiences so intricately as you stretch and reach for words and analogies to describe things that are seemingly indescribable. It is magic! You are so wonderful and I'm so grateful to be allowed to share in your experiences through your writing!
