Urban Panther, I agree with you—these moments are probably happening or on the verge of happening far more often than we realize. And maybe once we start noticing them, it triggers a snowball effect. Wouldn't that be cool?

Jenx67, you're good when you're short on time. :) So many great references for me to look into further (and you even threw Oprah in, for good measure!). Yes, the power of the soul is huge. I believe in it because I don't see any other explanation for many experiences I've had and stories I've heard. Thanks for so many good thoughts and ideas to ponder.
