Troxler effect and spirituality

[Baldmunt]

Hey Guys, want to talk about something that happened to me today which freaked me out.

So today i meditated, and after that i had an amazing shower where i felt my whole body. I was totally out of my head and enjoyed every minute.
When i got out of the shower and toweled myself up i watched the mirror and stared at my eyes. I kept focused for like 10 minutes and after a while my face began to blur. I watched my eyes and everything around it was moving. It scared me  but somehow i stayed focused. After some time i could see some glimpses of infinity. I saw eyes in my eyes in my eyes in my eyes......  (and so on).. Anxiety kept raising and at some point i pushed myself out.

I didn't know what i've just had witnessed.  I think it was some kind of hallucination rather than true enlightenment but after that i can relate a lot to the things that leo says in his 'what is reality?' videos. I researched the internet and it showed me that it's called the Troxler effect.

 I'm not religious but really believe there is something greater than this reality we are living in. I also agree with the fact that a lot of religion is pointing at the same direction (God, Infinity, True Reality etc)  I'm just not sure yet what it is and i'd like to figure out.

So my question is: did you ever experience this phenomenon and do you think it has to do something with spirituality/enlightenment/meditation?

Maybe those aren’t so different.
