Out of body Experience?? During service for Mother-in-law, Mary Dergousoff at USCC Hall in Grand Forks.

I was singing psalms and “Stehee” with congregation when without and prior warning, it almost seemed like a switch was turned on in my head and I was tuned into the “now” presence and the wording of the songs became alive and very meaningful. These same songs that I sang by rote for many years, took on a very real dimension and it almost seemed like I was there when the songs were written and was seeing the suffering that took place about which the songs were written. The wording of the songs seemed to be highlighted as if on a screen and for a change, I perfectly understood the meaning of every word.

It was also a very emotional feeling and my emotions let go with a cascade of tears which I could not control. Now you know why I was blubbering idiot.

This continued on through most of the service and right up to on through most of the service and right up to the point of farewell and exit from the hall.

Although I could not see spirits, I certainly felt their presence during that time (very strange). So I was not “out of my body” but my mind had done its own thing.

So what would one call this??
