Aloha, Kolya3! It is difficult to try and relate in words - it really is the kind of thing you just need to experience. Rather like trying to explain the taste

Aloha, Kolya3!
It is difficult to try and relate in words - it really is the kind of thing you just need to experience. Rather like trying to explain the taste of vanilla ice cream. My experience was something like this:
discomfort, billions of thoughts, wait, do i always have this many thoughts, oh yeah, i need to be watching my breath, etc, etc, etc, days pass along the same lines, intense light/energy, no thought, pure experience of what seems like our original state, back to thinking - OMG, can i stay here forever? reluctant return to daily life
That is a very poor substitute for what actually happened - it bears almost no semblance whatsoever to the experience.
- kolya3 18y agoThanks for responding. What would you say is the lasting profound effect on your day to day life?
- miles 18y agoThanks for responding. My pleasure! What would you say is the lasting profound effect on your day to day life? The lasting impact has been a sense of connectedness and perfection behind our apparent reality. Yes, I know this sounds trite and the same sentiment can be found in countless books on near death experience, spiritual life, etc, etc, but that is the best way to put it.
- derefr 18y agoWhat do you think would be the take-away if you already felt "connectedness and perfection behind our apparent reality", because of one of those other things?
