It may seem that it happens on its own accord, these moments when you start experiencing the life on a some different level ‌ But it is not so, each time when it happens, there is something, that moves you to forget about yourself, and only when you forget about yourself can this feeling come ‌ as though something switches inside, and you find yourself being merged with the outside world, with the life (but you can realize it only after, during this there is no reflection, just being in the life). Every time, when it happens It goes along the same plot, and the feeling are similar too, but not the same. The things or activity that evokes this feeling gives it its own hue. And this hue is experiencing of individuality, uniqueness of the thing or somebody beside you or place where you are ‌
