- What you are doing when you experience your spiritual moments?
I'm usually most aware of my spirituality when my conscience convicts me of being a fool. Aka I screwed up, and in those moments of awareness, I feel the need to seek out God and obtain forgiveness.

- Where/When do you experience your spiritual moments?
Anywhere and everywhere, but I always retreat to a secluded area to talk to God on a personal level.

- How often do you seek out your spirituality?
Daily for me. I find that if I don't make it a priority, my happiness, and my contentment suffers greatly.

- How important are these moments to you?
Incredibly important. I've had a couple strong spiritual moments throughout my life where I felt super close (and connected) with God. Not because I'm a good person, but because he is merciful and kind.

Hope this helps,
:D

These are the stories of people, who working in the related fields of science, have had spiritual experiences that they do not dismiss as hallucinations or delusions.
These aren’t spiritual Gurus, but people who (in many cases) seemed like the last person to have such an experience…they are respectable scientifically-minded individuals.
They are very credible.
