A) "Believe me, this experience is deeply personal. My world will never be same. It is not how I thought it would be. It is completely different....but only because it is not different at all. This is a state where paradoxes, inigmas, and contradictions can live in harmony with each other. This experience of Oneness is an ever growing phenomenon. It just keeps on expanding. The nervous system keeps giving in and the Nature of things pushes the experience further towards the edge of the envelope. Only, by this time, I can see that one never gets to the edge of the envelope. It just goes on like this forever. Forever and infinity and eternity are now reasonable thoughts with a definite form, shape and substance to them. Beliefs, philosophies, religions and concepts like God seem silly.  And anything that is not in my present awareness........simply does not exist. There is nothing anywhere for me but what exists in this moment. Literally...I am only this moment. Of course, I can still think about past experiences or plan for the future. But they are experienced as thoughts, existing only in the present, regarding a past or future that does not exist. I actually never leave this moment to go somewhere else in my head. The somewhere else has simply vanished. It is completely gone. I can't even entertain such a thought. I can't go somewhere else but here, now, anymore."

"The truth is that any possible experience can happen to anyone, at any time, in any state of consciousness. There are no rules of consciousness. Only, in the higher states, one is continuously aware of the larger process that underlies what is happening. One becomes aware that there is a script that is unconsciously moving the universe in one direction or another. It is just amazing to observe this process. One becomes conscious of Nature's Drama. Nature becomes the doer. Every thought and resulting action we perform seems perfectly choreographed to play out this Divine Drama. One sees that everyone is, unconsciously, an actor in the larger Drama. This does not mean that Enlightened automatically get a free ride through life. What I mean is that those in higher states are not immune to personal difficulties and life challanges. In fact, they are in such a dynamic state of Oneness with the Divine Plan, that big ups or downs will tend to get worked out through them even more often. Why? It is because when ups or downs happen to someone in a higher state, there is no owner of the experience. There is nobody there to take things personally. The result is that the big up or down will not produce much disturbance to the environment when they are worked out through the Enlightened. So the Karma of the Universe can get played out quiety."
