Do you think it's real and do you think it's related to being liberated?

Sooo many people who talk about enlighenment say it's not something to attain or experience but that's not what I believe... Nirvikalpi is real and it's not going to show up randomly if you don't apply yourself towards higher Consciousness

I'm 99% sure, speaking from personal experience not even afraid to say it. The last one percent is the possibility that something is beyond what I've experienced but even then I'm certain that higher states are real without question... what's the confusion aside from the fact that meditation alone may never bring you there that's why Yogi's talk about it far more than Zen Masters

During enlightenment, I believe many of you who have witnessed the power of God will agree that it makes a lot of sense while you're being shown the nature of your own existence and of existence itself but when you return to life it's not as simple to fully remember as it was when your Consciousness was extended beyond the brain.

This is of course just my experience please share with me if you understand what I mean about the dichotomy of simplicity and infinite complexity especially as it relates to working memory.

That's potentially because Sages know the ultimate truth but also have their own subjective views of life itself.

People on here seem to think everyone who's enlightened is completely the same emotionless thoughtless passive being but I'm here to tell you that it actually makes you more emotional it makes you more passionate. Understanding God is important beyond anything I can imagine but that doesn't mean other things aren't also important

From what I experienced, half of them are circular and the other half aren't. Is this true or did I simply hallucinate? They apparently exist in the etheric body as circular and spinning facing forward but when experienced in the physical body is it different? It felt almost like they were related to the nervous system while also being etheric at the same time.

I would be so grateful if anyone could answer this I've been thinking about it so much and it could be a while before I could replicate the experience. Btw it started at the Muladhara then went to the Manipura then Anahata then Vissudhi then to Sahasrara over the span of about 30 minutes as I recall. I believe at that point Sahasrara was experienced for an unknown amount of time possibly hours, I wasn't looking at the clock and with that Chakra it's beyond time for sure. I don't fully remember what the Svadishthana and Ajna were like I think they had their own unique experiences but I don't fully remember what it was for some reason. The only one that I remember not being experienced in the physical body at all was the Sahasrara, however I think part of me knew that my physical body was still here on Earth.

If by some miracle someone can answer my question please tell me how they function so I can relate it to my experience I won't disclose which ones I thought to be circular or not because of my skepticism and desire to cross-reference for truth.

Main question: was it a hallucinatory experience altogether or is it simply unusual or relatively uncommon nowadays for the experience of the Chakras activating all at once to happen. It's weird talking about spiritual experiences and so forth but I don't really care I want to know if any masters or anyone out there reading this can tell the difference. You could of course DM me if you preferred.

edit: I meant to say activated not awakened but at this point anyone who would be willing able to answer probably doesn't care about my wording

I am getting sleep paralysis and it's painful and pretty scary I back off automatically because I'm usually about 50% lucid.

Of course if I gain experience pushing through the fear and have successful experiences I will move past the fear but up until that place in time, can I expect to ever find a way around this altogether?

I sometimes feel that I'm different and that I genuinely will die I can't explain how heavy the sense of imminent death is for me.

One definition of "enlightenment" is having observed pure Consciousness... If the law of conservation of energy applies to the Consciousness then it cannot be destroyed or transferred at death because (the experience of many is that) it is infinite... how could something infinite be destroyed?
