The sense of connectedness was overwhelming, and I felt as a being of absolute power, beauty, and wonder sharing in the great Lifeforce that powers every living being.
I guess it's all just a matter of perspective, isn't it?

Every water molecule you drink, as well as every water (and any other) molecule in your body, has been in existence for at least 1 billion years--how many other living things have had that same molecule in their makeup?
Not only that, but we are
all just compressed fields of space/time, so we are all already the "same" to begin with.
Everything is one. If that doesn't add to, and continue, the feeling of oneness then I can't help you.
I must congratulate you, though. How few people ever achieve that understanding?
