Story Of John Wren-lewis - Enlightened By Poisoning (nde).

[zikzak]

Just want to share this story that I find fascinating. They guy was poisoned with a mix of morphine/cocaine (now don't go do this yourself ), had a near-death experience and woke up enlightened at the hospital. I like his description "dazzling dark" and also "eternity consciousness":

Here's also a short interview which goes into explaining that he spends about 50% of his day in "eternity consciousness" and therefore is not technically fully enlightened - but that he doubts this is possible although claimed by some gurus:

That's not enlightenment, just a state of mind or enlightenment experience. Enlightenment is acceptance of everything and 0 differentiation for all experience, it is beyond any state of mind.

I agree. It's a stateless state so to speak. That's what I sense he is referring to by "eternity consciousness". Reading more about him it seems obvious, to me anyway. YMMV.
