Intense Contemplation Experience. Thoughts?

[Sargon]

Has anyone ever experienced a sudden interruption in your meditation\contemplation practice?

I was doing my usual meditation practice today. I was really going deep into the contemplation of "I" and looking to experience awareness. At one point, I could see the time lag between a thought that arose and the emotion that arose from it. In my mind, it was like the emotion sprang from the idea much like a water would from a fountain, visual and all. Here's where it gets interesting, at least to me. While my attention turned to the phenomenon of watching emotion spring form an idea, something suddenly stopped my mental process. It was only a flash; gone as soon as I became aware of it, but it was like I was interrupted. An analogy would be when you watch TV and suddenly your program is interrupted by an announcement. It felt like I was being shown something, only there was no image that I can remember. It really felt like "I" had nothing to do with it; as if "I" suddenly just stopped and restarted again . It was truly an interesting and funky experience. I immediately thought perhaps this was an enlightenment experience... or perhaps samadhi, which I understand is not quite the same thing. In any case, it certainly makes me think I am on the right track. Thoughts?

You are not on the right track

You ARE  THAT> What you experienced is who you really truly are. That "stopness" - that you've only been able to sustain for a moment, took you by surprise and mind has found a way to bring you back into its claws  

Something saw the thought and the emotions springing from it. All that was seen by the "stopness" (that you are) 

Contrary to what your mind tells you to DO to get back to this, try the exact opposite: relax into it, don't force yourself into it as you are ALREADY it. There's nowhere you need to GO

Sorry... to clarify, did you mean I am on the right track?

Who is that one becoming aware here? There's an awareness focusing on something. That is still from the person-hood, as it is coming and going. Something still watches that awareness. Find out that SOMETHING, by stopping to "try" and "do". There is nowhere you need to arrive with it, as you already are it. LITERALLY ! 

Do not look for the metaphysical meaning of what is being said here. Just read the words. Just relax into the words, read them over and over.... until it will be over

Yes, you are on the right track, except there is not "track", you are already THAT
