Religious Experience. Is it possible to represent?

I've just been away with my church for the weekend. It was wonderful spending time with the people and with God. It was amazing spending time with him and having him speak clearly to me. The wisdom of those around me was noteworthy, the insights of God, shared through them served to confirm what God was doing and saying to me both internally and externally.

I assume that for many of you, this does not translate personally. My point is: I think it is very difficult to translate an intense religious experience. It is not difficult to explain what happens internally or externally or how they are linked. However to represent this and the intrinsically linked dynamics would be incredibly difficult. I definitely believe that the media is limited in their ability to represent something. Ultimately I will never know what it feels like to bungy jump unless I do it, irregarless of how many documentaries I watch on it.

What experience would you love to have people to have?
