The experience of the transforming union is a way of being in the world that enables us to live daily life with the invincible conviction of continuous union with God. It is a new way of being in the world, a way of transcending everything in the world without leaving it. In the transforming union, the domination of the emotions ceases. Emotional swings disappear. We are aware that what we thought were emotions were not the emotions as such, but our interpretations of them.
