Experience description:

Terms I've elicited such as "dimensions", being "sucked out" and the images during the experience not of this universe are only for description, for lack of better/ more defining words. 

After several weeks of very positive thinking (how wonderful/ amazing life is) I was at a friend's house. While playing religious music and keeping a spiritually focused mindset, I felt an overwhelming need to sit quietly. Just after sitting, I closed my eyes and started feeling energy (like the "chills") emanating from my stomach. It soon began pulsating outward spherically to the edge of my body. It became so intense that I began losing awareness of my physical senses. noticing that I'd quit breathing, I gasped and then was "sucked out" and upon opening my "eyes", was aware that I was floating around the ceiling. As I observed both my and my friend's bodies, the thought of how simple, yet amazing this was! Then the energy began to pulsate again. This time, I was "sucked" into a dimension where thoughts manifest as reality. Colors flow past in streams, lights appear and flicker, then disappear. To show that I was in a timeless place a clock with no hands appears and floats past, to show that I had access to unlimited knowledge, the largest mathematical equation I've ever seen appeared, hovering in front of me. Then a voice, more like a vibration resonated through me that told me "you are what you are and it's okay"! So I enquired "what am I then?" and was "sucked" to another dimension where except for blackness was a being. It was of height, width and depth beyond what I could view or comprehend. It was composed totally of light, not really of a "brightness" perse, but luminous nonetheless. After a moment to become aware of "it", I was pulled as a magnet draws metal into it. It's essence is of all that is, love, or of being the source of the energy that binds and animates all. To call it God I guess would suffice. And then the "chills" energy previously experienced was of intensity beyond description and all consuming, like peering into infinity. After what felt as hours or days passed, I was thrust back into my body. Upon opening my eyes and realizing that only a few minutes had passed, I was excited about not only the experience, but life. As I left my friend's house, I noticed plants, animals and people. But noticed as though we were different shells of the same consciousness. All alive via the same energy.
