Weird things can happen, during meditation. Me, I’ve never experienced anything beyond boredom or relaxation – except this one time I went to a synagogue with my Sunday school class when I was 15-18 years old or so. I wasn’t even trying to meditate ( I don’t think I even knew meditation existed back then), but I was bored out of my mind since – not knowing any Hebrew – I couldn’t follow any of it. So I must’ve fallen into a meditative state, but what I felt at the time (or rather, just after, because that’s all I remember), was a feeling of immense gratitude at having been in the presence of God. I didn’t talk about it with anyone and I didn’t become Jewish, but really I should have, the experience was that strong. But I was shy, and I didn’t want to call attention to myself. (I’m an atheist now, in case anyone wonders.)
