Here also is the Wikipedia article on the subject:

How has God, the Divine, That which is The Greater Mystery, The Awe-some, Infinite, Eternal manifested in your and my life?  What are your and my little epiphanies, our satori's?  How might we become more open to these moments of grace in our daily lives?  How is the "Thou"/"Father"/"Spirit"/"Causal"/"Creator," the "I Am"/"Son"/"Body"/"Gross"/"Created," and the the "It Is"/"Holy Spirit"/"Mind"/"Subtle"/""Relator"  showing up in my and your life?
