My account might be of interest for anyone exploring non-dual consciousness or Kaula Tantra. My Maya Gaia website (begun in 1997) geocities.com/maya-gaia/mysticalexp.html is a chronicle of my efforts to integrate a spontaneous Nirvikalpa Samadhi 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 episode of 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 a compedium of 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.

Wed, June 10, 2009 - 4:17 PMAfter June, 2009 the URL for the nirvikalpa samadhi account will change to maya-gaia.angelfire.com/mysticalexp.html
Probably 99% of allegations about the reality of nirvikalpa samadhi have been extrapolated by those who have never experienced it from a few dozen first-person anecdotes in the literature of the non dual traditions spanning two millenia. The actual time in conscious non duality is without seed and ineffable beyond light, bliss and love. However events during the journey of ascent and descent in a state of numinous duality contain features that in rare instances can be remembered.
