Dear Emily,

Thanks for the wonderful post! :)) It's fascinating that these states can
be so distinct. :)) In the "bliss poll," nine people experienced Bliss,
eight Joy, while five said they had experienced Rapture, and three others
Ecstasy/rapture. Three people experienced Glory.

I would think that hearing the music of the spheres or the chior of angels is
one of the most profound of all human experiences. During our music poll 4
people said they had experienced this.

    I would love to add your experience as an addendum to the music poll, with
    your permission!

    Love, Hillary

    *************

    For a certain period of time, right in front of my students (luckily they
    didn't seem to notice) I experienced what I can only call, the angels
    singing! I didn't hear anything with my ears, it was not a sound
    hallucination. And it's not singing per se, nor were they angels as humans
    appearing with wings. Though I could certainly understand why medieval
    mystics called it the angels singing the glory of God. That is the closest
    approximation to what it was like.

    They were 'humming', 'vibrating' in chorus (though it was neither humming
    nor vibrating), all different notes though it was not music either at all.
    But it was harmonious. They were in ecstasy, but again, that is not the
    right word to depict what they feeling. I couldn't really see them, though
    the first vision of human-like angels did appear, to be replaced with an
    image of small triangles all fitting together to form one huge triangle
    which also disolved into something else which I can't remember because it
    was beyond my brain to remember/grasp.

    I felt they were ecstatic because of gratitude and compassion. These two
    feelings from humans made them ecstatic. First that a human would feel
    gratitude is the greatest vibration that they respond to. Then if a person
    feeling gratitude is also feeling compassion for all creation, they vibrate
    even more.

    Just like in medieval texts, I felt they only existed for that, for
    'singing' the glory of God, though I didn't feel a God or Goddess.

    This is all so difficult to describe.

    And I felt they were responding to my own 'vibration'. They were 'ecstatic'
    that I was 'getting it,' that I was joining them in 'praise.' I wanted to
    soar up and join them in heavenly bliss.

    I had to go back to being a teacher but felt that when I had some time to
    myself, I could rejoin them. But I couldn't. Although I did feel bliss for
    hours afterwards, I couldn't find rapture again. It even made me depressed
    on my way home, like life had no more meaning once I'd experienced and lost
    that rapture.

    I spoke to my friend who is guiding me through all this K stuff and he said
    that the Hindus call these beings the Gandharvas. After our talk, he wrote
    to me the following:

    -
    We have talked about these ³Gandharvas². May be you can find more on the
    net. This is not a new experience for some, although it is a rather rare
    occurrence, it takes a certain degree of refinement of the nervous system
    to be able to reach that level of sensitivity. In the Scriptures there are
    many references about them.
