Spirit is something that you go into, you give yourself to it, and it takes over. We become a silent observer
of our being, being used as and instrument of something greater than our ego.

We know because our heart knows, and in a spiritual experience we are in touch with, and are moving closer
to, our heart. We know intuitively. We do not control the spiritual experience rather we give ourselves to it
and it takes over. Our deeper being knows this experience intimately.
