Im not going to claim that I in anyway am "enlightened". But last night, I was lying in bed, and half meditating. And then I saw this face in front of me, it looked abit like i would imagine myself in 30-40 years, beard and all. And I was asking "what? what does this mean? who are you? ". And the face I saw just smiled and then laughed and laughed. And i felt that i "got the point" and started to laugh to. Feeling that life is nothing else but laughter. It felt like a short insight to an enlightened state of mind. The feeling disappeared, but i remembered how i felt. Are there such things as "temporary enlightenment" ? Some people argue that taking pyskadelic drugs can offer a temporary enlightenment. =P
Yes there is. It is like getting your toes wet in the ocean of enlightenment. May your journey be free from suffering and you be united with the eternal happiness forever. Peace and love
The closest thing to an untrained epiphany which would be of Buddhist Style Enlightenment, would be something along those lines of yours. That is, a self reflective state free of mental judgement and intrusion where timelessness and bliss and clarity merge to give one a sense of total freedom of possibility and joy.
