Hi Luana
Really interesting experience!
William Faulkner was an inspired writer.
On the day the experience happened, remember your college professor. Was he/she conveying the passion of Faulkner's work, the magic, the fluidity?
Look at the writer's themes for a bit: Faulkner was intense about the relationship of whites to blacks; Mississippi, the deep south, the music, the river, earth. You may be resonating to the spirit of the "place" and the "era" and also the truth Faulkner responded to and wanted to convey about life.
Faulkner wrote in "stream of consciousness style"— he had connection –body and being to the universal energy; what Reich might call the "orgone". In your class the ripples you felt through your body were resonance with the spirit of a great man and, behind that, with his energy, and the causes he followed, even though you may not know all of them yet. (Get to know his interests, intensities, you may find they are very important to you too.) Not only that, you will find there is an integrity to his essential spirit. Perhaps his kundalini was raised and you resonated with that!
Follow that!!
So, perhaps you weren't Faulkner, your being responded to the spirit of the man conveyed by another instrument (the teacher) and you connected to the pure vibration conveyed.
That is some measure of what we call pure genius, greatness.
You are on the right track.
Either way, you are fortunate to have a resonant being.
Please take care of it.
It is very precious.
