Cosmic Ejaculator 1814
~Trout Mask Replica~
This is a thread for discussing the experience of "Mind Integration" or "Cosmic Consciousness".
The experience has been described in different cultures all over the world and has many names;Savikalpa-Samadhi,Nirvikalpa-Samadhi,the Beatific State,Peak Experience etc.
The state is generally described as a feeling of "One-ness" with the Universe and,from what I understand,comes in several different gradations.
It can be brought about by specific forms of deep meditation,as well as spontaneous insight,like Edgar Mitchell had on the way home from the Moon.I think the "I AM" experience that valiens talks about may also be some version of this state...
A friend of mine experienced this one time when he was walking through the forest and spotted a tiny beetle.At that instant he felt a conscious link between himself and the beetle and what followed was an ecstatic experience of "One-ness with everything".
I have,myself,experienced similar things during my transcendental meditation practice...
The first time it happened,an "energy" seemed to emerge from right between the eyes and quickly spread too the rest of the body.After a couple of seconds I was sitting inside what felt like a "bubble" of warm,glowing "energy" and with virtually no sense of Ego...It was a completely blissful state and truly life changing....
