I recently received the following email from someone who has experienced multiple bouts of sleep paralysis. It seems to me that this experiencer eventually connected with a higher consciousness at some point. Your thoughts?

The voice didn’t come from one specific area, but it was as if it was everywhere, and it sounded male. The voice said: “Do you feel that?” In my mind I responded: “Yes”. The voice asked: “What are you feeling?” I stated: “Love. It’s pure love”. The best way that I can describe that feeling is when a parent sees their child for the very first time, multiplied by a million. It was the most powerful concentrated emotion that I have ever felt! The feeling was also just in my chest and not washed over my entire body as with the terror that I had felt in previous incidents. The voice then told me: “Love is what I am. Now look at it”. I looked at the blurry thing on the wall and it instantly disintegrated. With that, I “woke up” as I did with every other incident. Only this time, that feeling of pure love stayed with me for almost a full minute, rather than instantly dissipating as the feeling of terror/fear used to!
