Thank you, it is much appreciated.
Richard Maurice Bucke took many years to write a book to tell us something about what most of us supposedly will not be able to understand. He succeeded since Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind, published in 1901, is not difficult to comprehend. In it, he writes about how some among us can and have attained cosmic consciousness, the term he coined for what other traditions call enlightenment, nirvana, “Brahmic Splendour” or the Kingdom of God. He was a psychiatrist, a “man of science” though after his enlightenment experience when he was 36, he was also a mystic.

Three years into my "experiences"; I found a copy of the book. I could have had a chapter in it. It explained everything that had been happening to me at different points in my life. Today, 30 years later it remains as a Bible for me. And a modern explanation for the experiences that I have discovered, is neocortical temporal lobe epilepsy. I enjoyed your video. Thank you.

@@PhilosophicalBachelor It's been amazing and disruptive. But I've made peace with it in my life.

Nonduality is not a concept to grasp or a philosophy to understand, it's a direct experiential recognition of the indivisible field that underlies and permeates all apparent creation.

Indeed when we try to understand, it is as you said, hard to understand. "The dao that can be spoken is not the real dao."
