The "being part of a whole" experience was significant and strong: when any of you did well, the collective-you was doing well, and so you wanted it like your brain wants your legs to do well One of the strongest (completely natural) "highs" I've experienced is playing team sports and completely abandoning my ego, while others did the same. One organism working toward a common goal. I would imagine that playing in a (cohesive, unselfish) band or an orchestra is much the same. Or acting in a play, etc. I have experienced this at work as well over the years, but much more fleetingly.
