God can suddenly allow that soul in a mortal body to feel completely taken out of itself, where all understanding and awareness of being vanish, and in this state of forgetfulness, the person is no longer concerned with categories like holy and sinful. For some, this ecstasy happens often; for others, rarely. Either way, it never lasts long, but during that brief moment the person is absolutely humble, knowing and feeling God alone.
