If we are actively engaged in spiritual practice, our inner lives, from time to time, play host to rather new and unusual occurrences.
Unexpected experiences do come.
Some are confusing, some exhilarating. The attraction of spiritual experiences as indicators of our quality of being is undeniable but counter-productive. The spiritual path is not a chase after new experiences, rather it is a quest for permanent changes in our level of being, a quest to be able to serve. We need not play the spiritual tourist in a sacred land, snapping photos to remember and brag about our journeys. Instead we want to become residents of that land.
