When spiritual experiences feel too good to be true

I've been doing contemplative prayer for three years and last week during meditation I felt what I can only describe as God's presence so clearly it made me sob, but now I can't get back there and I'm obsessing over whether I imagined it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The mind struggles to trust profound spiritual encounters, creating attachment to peak experiences rather than accepting their transient nature.
