It sounds strange to say it, but I have become convinced that I had an experience like St. Paul's experience revelation of being snatched away to paradise. This is very rare.

Part of what convinced me is that Paul's three "ouk oida" moments mirror my own. Another key marker is the notion of harpazo -- the sudden, forcible, snatching. That definitely mirrors my experience. My experience was heavenly in the sense of being blissful and it seemed to be the afterlife. It also had three distinct stages mirroring a first second and third heaven. The snatching culminated in an intermediate stage like deep sleep, and when I awoke from that special kind of sleep on earth, my body was both the same and transformed.
