Help With Verbal Description Of Awakened Consciousness

[integration journey]

It feels like being a “child” again and rediscovering the beauty and mystery of life and consciousness. 
It is like looking at every thing for the first time ever with new eyes and having that natural child like curiosity about everything that is happening.

A massive recontextualization of your present experience. Imagine your intuition cranked up 1000x

[Cepzeu]

Not a direct description but the feeling is similar to below:

You are alone in a bedroom and finally put down the novel you were engrossed in. You shut the book and look around. You are in a bedroom. It's dark. Only a candle provides enough light to read. You are lying in a bed, covered by a blanket. Your bookshelf is in the corner of the room filled with books.There is no mirror in your bedroom. You have a big yawn and itch your thigh. You know that you are you, you always have been, but you've been so engrossed in the book you've forgotten to take a pause from the story. You feel a bit uneasy. Thankfully you have nowhere to be tomorrow. So you pick the book back up and dive back into the drama and emotions, the next chapter beckoning you with an untold story. You have all the time in the universe.

[Joseph Maynor]

Dreams are a lot like psychedelics.  

[Null Simplex]

“When you were babies you knew who you were. Psychoanalysts refer to that as the oceanic feeling—they don’t really like it, but they admit that it exists—where the baby cannot distinguish between the world and the way it acts upon the world. It’s all one process—which is, of course, the way things are. But we learn very quickly (because we are taught very quickly) what is ‘you’ and what is not ‘you’, what is voluntary, what is involuntary. Because you can be punished for the voluntary but not for the involuntary. And so we unlearn what we knew in the beginning. And in the course of life, if we’re fortunate, we discover again what we really are: that each one of us is what would be called in Arabic or Hebrew a son of god. And the word ‘son of’ means ‘of the nature of’… ‘Son of God’ means a divine person: a human being who has realized union with God.

Now, my assumption, my opinion, is that Jesus of Nazareth was a human being,—like Buddha, like Sri Ramakrishna, like Ramana Maharshi, et cetera—who early in life had colossal experience of what we call cosmic consciousness. Now, you don’t have to be any particular kind of religion to get this experience. It can hit anyone, any time, like falling in love. There are obviously a number of you in this building who’ve had it in greater or lesser degree. But it’s found all over the world! And when it hits you, you know it. Sometimes it comes after long practice of meditations and spiritual discipline, sometimes it comes for no reason that anybody can determine, we say it’s the grace of God, that there comes this overwhelming conviction that you have mistaken your identity. That, what you thought (what I thought) was just old Alan Watts (who I know very well is just a big act and a show), but what I thought was me was only completely superficial! That I am an expression of an eternal something-or-other, X—a name that can’t be named, as the name of God was taboo among the Hebrews. I am. And that I suddenly understand exactly why everything is the way it is. It’s perfectly clear! Furthermore, I feel no longer any boundary between what I do and what happens to me. I feel that everything that’s going on is my doing, just as my breathing is. Is your breathing voluntary or involuntary? Do you do it or does it happen to you? See, you can feel it both ways. But you feel everything like breathing!  And it isn’t as if you had become a puppet. There is no longer any separate ‘you’, there is just this great happening going on. And if you have the name in your background you will say, ‘This happening is God’, or ‘the will of God’, or ‘the doing of God’.  Or, if you don’t have that word in your background, you will say with the Chinese ‘It is the flowing of the Dao’.  Or if you’re a Hindu, you will say, ‘It is the māyā of Brahman’.  The māyā means the magical power, the creative illusion, the play.” -Alan Watts from Jesus: His religion.
