NDE X MYSTICAL EXPRNCE
The similarity with many religious experiences is striking. Renowned yogi Paramahansa Yogananda describes the moment of his enlightenment as a young student in India: “Soul and mind instantly lost their physical bondage and streamed out like a fluid… the flesh was as though dead; yet in my intense awareness I knew that never before had I been fully alive. My sense of identity was no longer narrowly confined to a body but embraced the circumambient atoms. People on distant streets seemed to be moving gently over my own remote periphery. The roots of plants and trees appeared through a dim transparency of the soil; I could discern the inward flow of their sap… A swelling glory within me began to envelop towns, continents, the earth, solar and stellar systems, tenuous nebulae, and floating universes.”

Embrace what you perceive and cross the flood. The sage is untied to possessions— having extracted the arrow, take care— Don’t long for this world or the next. FOUR EIGHTS, 1:8
