The heart, when we clear away the debris of the pain that has protectively encapsulated it, automatically vibrates at the exact rate as the universal life force that is the defining component of all living things, a thing that the mind most certainly does not. The experience reported by mystics and epiphany receivers is of knowing on a feeling level the harmonious alignment of all the universes and the beings in them. In this state, one knows that all is right, all is arranged as it should be. This experience brings calmness, joy, pleasure beyond measure, and a tendency to laugh out loud often in myriad circumstances.
