Thought my account could provide perspective for anyone exploring non-duality. My Maya Gaia website (begun in 1997) geocities.com/maya-gaia/mysticalexp.html is a chronicle of my efforts to integrate a spontaneous transcendent experience which I had back in 1970. At the time, I was almost completely naive regarding religious, mystical, metaphysical or paranormal epiphenomena - a critical factor in lending credibility to the episode - but the experience started my search for explanation that is still ongoing. My research over the years has led to the conclusion that I experienced a classical Nirvikalpa Samadhi or Cosmic Consciousness with features remembered in extraordinary detail. I'm assuming anyone well-read on the subject would find my subsequent speculations after-the-fact of less interest as they are simply extrapolations of my limited perspectives on some non-dual resources on the Internet- selected through a process of passing them through the filter of my intuitive samadhi insight to see what sticks.
