Hi, I am a super newbie. 
I have only been aware of the intense energy of the spirit since the 10th of Febuary 2001. On that fateful night while sitting in the bathtub trying to calm my brain down from pondering and writing my feelings on religion, the purpose of life, etc. Having everything seem so clear and simple in a Tree of Life perspective, and a feeling of how God truly exists and sincerly loves each and every one of us. My concious fought with itself over being loved and not being worthy of it, until an overwhelming burning feeling filled my chest, and hunched me over from the intensity. I bawled for what had to be a few minutes.
I stopped myself, forced myself to lay back and relax, to calm down. When I laid back I looked down at my chest, and saw a circle where I now understand to be the Solar Plexus. Rigged and somewhat darkened, like burnt skin. Seeing this gave me an overwhelming sense of love, and compassion, a sign even.
I feel a little nervous posting this out on a forum, because it was so personal and spiritual. I just am curious to know if anyone else out there has had any similar experiences.
