Breakthrough?

[UnbornTao]

Had an unexpected experience while walking the dog. Let me try to put it into words:

I was there. It was me and now, and I was consciousness. There was no division in my experience. My sense of self disappeared and yet I was there. Before the event, there was radical openness. I was simply "holding" the question of my nature in no particular form. There was also an unprecedented sense of freedom and bliss. The state of openness remained throughout the experience. It was profoundly beautiful. The aftereffect lasted for about two hours.

I'm avoiding hype and misrepresentation as best as I can.

Thoughts? Help me clarify what went on, if you will.

Of course you are consciousness, but it goes so much deeper.

What went on is the human finite sense of self collapsed, leaving behind the Infinite Self.

You are describing a classic no-self type of awakening. It's good, but requires going deeper.

[VeganAwake]

The difficulty in explaining a no self awakening is that when it occurs, the experiencer of said awakening (YOU) is recognized to have NEVER been real.

There is still a body with its senses but it's completely empty of the 'I'

'I' is realized to have been a mere assumption or misunderstanding often referred to as "the illusion of self"

There never was a real you and absolutely nothing mattered/matters.

It's freedom from & for nobody!
