<blockquote class="definition">
The person, suddenly, without warning, has a sense of being '''immersed in a flame,''' or rose-colored cloud, or perhaps rather a sense that the mind is itself filled with such a cloud or haze...At the same instant he is, as it were, '''bathed in an emotion of joy, assurance, triumph, “salvation.”''' Simultaneously or instantly following ...there comes ... an '''intellectual illumination''' quite impossible to describe. Like a flash there is presented to his consciousness a '''clear conception (a vision)''' in outline of the meaning and drift of the universe. He does not come to believe merely; but '''he sees and knows''' that the cosmos, which to the self conscious mind seems made up of dead matter, is in fact far otherwise—is in very truth a living presence. He sees that instead of men being, as it were, patches of life scattered through an infinite sea of non-living substance, they are in reality specks of relative death in an '''infinite ocean of life.''' He sees that the life which is in man is eternal, as all life is eternal; that the soul of man is as immortal as God is; that the universe is so built and ordered that without any peradventure all things work together for the good of each and all; that the foundation principle of the world is what we call love, and that the happiness of every individual is in the long run absolutely certain. '''The person who passes through this experience will learn in the few minutes, or even moments, of its continuance more than in months or years of study, and he will learn much that no study ever taught or can teach.''' Especially does he obtain such '''a conception of THE WHOLE,''' or at least of an immense WHOLE, as dwarfs all conception, imagination or speculation, springing from and belonging to ordinary self consciousness, '''such a conception as makes the old attempts to mentally grasp the universe and its meaning petty and even ridiculous'''....Along with moral elevation and intellectual illumination comes what must be called, for want of a better term, a '''sense of immortality'''....With illumination '''the fear of death'''...simply vanishes. The same may be said of the sense of sin. It is not that the person escapes from sin; but he no longer sees that there is any sin in the world from which to escape. The instantaneousness of the '''illumination''' is one of its most striking features; it can be compared with nothing so well as with a dazzling '''flash of lightning''' in a dark night, bringing the landscape which had been hidden into clear view.<ref>Bucke, Richard Maurice.
