I've been there dude. I've talked about it before on here. TM blew my
mind for a while, I saw the light, experienced the oneness that is
also everything else at the same time but without changing it's own
nature. Good trip, not a good long term proposition perhaps.

I can see why religions get started over it though, it's easy to think
that what is happening inside accurately reflects what's happening
outside, and when you get a change of perception like that you might
think you are seeing a deeper level of external reality but what we
see of the world is created in our heads anyway so changes to that are
changes in how our consciousness is created neurophysiologically.

I don't think I'd make a very inspiring guru but people reacted
differently to me when I was like it, bit of ultra blissed darshan for
the guys at work. Maybe I would have got promoted quicker if it had
hung around. But I went to live with the TMO because of experiences
like this and they never came back. LOL!

experiences that convince you that you're "enlightened," no one (except
