Likewise. I mean the full force of it literally blows my head off when I get deep into such experiences. I often get something like an electric shock shoot down my spine when in the deepest moments of connection.
I know a few friends have felt similar at distinct moments in their existence and they can almost always recount them with near perfect clarity. But there's often so very few in the lifetimes of those I know.
I sometimes wonder if I'm chasing it via meditation and psychedelics; but none the less I seem to feel it with some frequency compared to most based on the accounts of the many other people I have discussed this with.
The kicker is the fact that there's just no understanding it. I don't think there will be this side of death, or enlightenment, if ever.

Every moment is a spiritual experience, but when I meditate, the profound OBE's become increasingly frequent. Its been awhile since I maintained a consistent meditation regimen

That's the dream though isn't it? To achieve a state where one is profoundly and constantly aware of this fact. I think it's achievable, although high level of dedication is required...

Love, of course. Hate cannot penetrate a heart full of love. Likewise....Love is your best shot at defeating hatred. It is like light and dark....light always wins.

Part of it yes, though I only know what I believe and have experienced

How else would you describe the dream aside of that?
To me, the most fitting description came from my teacher while I was on retreat recently. He was explaining that the Buddhist concept/state of 'enlightenment' is one where one realises that the separation we feel is simply an illusion. He's by far the closest human to this state I have ever met too - just being around him fills me with awe - something I've never felt in the presence of another...

From my perspective, samadhi is to life, what intonation is to music Without form and structure, intonation lacks its true potential
Samadhi then is the first step, but just as in music, one is never done progressing Intonation may be the most basic musical element, but one can always delve further into the note
Without a doubt the most spiritually advanced individual I have met in person is Muslim Though "Muslim" becomes a broad category with some people

you can always love people that hate you but you can't always hate people that truly love you. so love is more powerful
