Was This A Mini-mini Enlightenment Experience?

5 posts in this topic

So I am getting more and more serious about spirituality and I was doing a 30 min self-enquiry (on the question "who is perceiving", as Leo describes in his video "how to become enlightened"). With alternations between eyes open and eyes closed, and after 20 minutes or so when I opened my eyes I didn't see a collection objects  in "a room"(as usual), but rather my visual field was one thing, and the only thing there was . The sense of myself was spread over this visual field (so the part of my room before my eyes). And I thought "is this a small enlightenment-experience" and the I saw my body without identifying with (or identyfiing with it way less than usual)  (only perceiving the colour and shape of my legs). It didn't last long at all, maybe 30 seconds and it also wasn't deep, I am typing this now 5 minutes later as if nothing happened. I also noticed a subtle sense of not wanting the experience, and even like wanting it to stop.

It didn't really generate conscious traction at all. Right now, 5 minutes later it feels as if that was a dream, and I don't really beleive anymore what I am writing.

Does this sound like a valid description of what a mini-mini enlinghtenment experience could be. I just would like to know this because until now it would help me take the experience and the work more serious.

Thanks for reading,

Wouter

I must not be awake for everything seems to be a dream. Or maybe I'm awake for the first time and all that was before was just a dream. Walt Whitman

@Wouter Yes, that sounds like a small Samadhi experience. Definitely a good sign. You want to not only have an experience here, but to understand what it is that's going on. Why did it happen? What does it mean? Where did it go?

Enlightenment is the knowing behind the mystical experience. You gotta get very clear about what the hell is going on.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

I had my first satori experience on a super hangover walk. This is not a joke.
