Exhilaration and Ecstasy

Exhilaration and ecstasy...what are the points of these words? Well, what are the first things that come to mind when you hear them? When I think of exhilaration, I think of freefalling from an airplane just before I let out a parachute. Or I think of bungee jumping. That feeling of freedom of flight sounds absolutely exhilarating to me. And yes, also terrifying. But I'm okay with it. I picture ecstasy as the state of being when one is lost in happiness to the point where their thoughts are unclear due to the distaction created in the pleasure of that emotion. Reaching ecstasy is reaching that place of absolute happiness, the place where you start acting retarded and are completely oblivious to the fact. These are two emotions or states of being that many people strive to experience every day. We are willing to try any kind of drug or attempt any kind of stunt to feel exhilarated. Its amazing, the lengths some people go.
This blog may be chiché, but I know a way people can experience these two things without the use of drugs or alchohol....or skydiving or bungee jumping! There's a place you can go and a person you can talk to that has the ability to make you feel more exhilarated than anything in this world and can consume you with ecstasy to the point where even breathing doesn't matter. Don't be scared, you'll more than likely keep breathing... ;) But in the moment, you won't care one way or the other. There's a place in the Spirit that I cannot describe to you, that will make you achieve these things. If you've read my blog before, you may have seen one or two of my many attempts to describe the place/thing I'm talking about now...and by now it should be obvious that I know I cannot do it justice. However, I can tell you again that its worth it to lose your mind...when in His presence. Really, I think it's worth it to lose your mind at any time...but, especially in His presence. Hehe.  Getting alone with Him is worth it. Pushing in prayer until you reach the place where the world disappears, along with your human mind, is more exhilarating and ecstasy-filled than any type of anything that ever was or will be something on this earth. Its worth it. Achieving that perfect happiness and bliss is something that many people in the world believe they have experienced...I don't think they know the half. I can't wait to start hearing more stories of those around me that begin to lose themselves. I hope somebody reads this and tells me about their experiences...I want to hear other's stories! I want more of this for myself. It all comes with time spent with Him...I'm learning that more and more all the time. I'm happy. :)
