I read recently that NASA are going to beam the Beatles "Across the Universe" to the Polaris star system. It got me thinking about the time I heard this gorgeous song during something very special, the 1999 total solar eclipse.

I was on the top of a seastack on the beach at Lizard point, Cornwall during what I now think is the most thing incredible sight I have ever witnessed. 20,000 people had filled the beach and the surrounding cliffs and the excitment rose as 11:11 am drew nearer. Someone had put a massive PA system on the beach and at the start of the eclipse started to play this song. In all my athiest life, It was by far the closest I have come to a religious experience. The interplay of the Earth, the Sun and the moon was brought home to me during these incredible two minutes, and just how we are all part of a cosmic majesty. I was humbled and stunned for hours afterwards.
Did anyone else witness it like this?

Dude,

you may be an athiest, but you can still experience Om.
