Is there anyone that has not felt a sense of oneness or unexplained happiness for some "clear space"-between intervals as there was oneness with no division?

A difficult question to answer. I for one don't know anybody who would be aware of such incidents happening to themselves, at least not among those who have no interest in spirituality and live the average life. Some may have had them and later forgotten, but if so, it cannot have been of fundamental value as it left no impact.

Feeling of oneness is considered a fundamental spiritual experience, and it happened to many yogis and mystics from various religions at the outset of their sadhana - or rather prompted their sadhana, as you say. There are many such accounts indeed.

But the question is what is meant by Sabikalpa Samadhi. Samadhi ("grave") generally denotes a sort of spiritual trance -- going into an inner ecstasy. This only few people can do.
