Yes: when the fierceness of the transcendental comes gushing through.

I had a very obvious experience of this a coupla' weeks ago when my mind was blasted to god-knows-where and the pure force of Being just came right through. Unfortunately (or not) a friend was visiting me at the time; as it happens he and I have not been that close recently and unfortunately (or not) I rather blasted him away. I felt like Kali incarnate; I chopped off his head, as it were, and blasted through so much of his bullshit. I saw VERY CLEARLY that there was absolutely no "malice aforethought" in what I was doing; I even felt at times I was being used, as it were, as a conduit of Being to give him some sort of "message". I felt no guilt, remorse - indeed I was enjoying myself immensely.

The next day my mind came crawling back and tried to mount its throne again. I could see it was trying to make me feel guilty about what had transpired: yet I knew I hadn't felt any guilt at the time, that it was all just happening way beyond any control of "mine". Luckily I was due to speak with Ben that evening and he was great.

However, I'm still trying to explain this to my friend!

Great explanation, Paul. Ties in too, perhaps, with what Cassie and I were saying about seeing those sides of ourselves we're not that used to.

Love, Gill
