You guys have all wonderful stories. I guess that I am personally going through a deep transformation, and some things are hard to admit, mostly because these days I feel very bad, going through very difficult situations and I tend to forget who I really am. In this sense I see why it is very easy to forget these concepts of enlightenment or divinity or true power...etc etc etc. Really, some of us have been going through very traumatic things and the least we can is to remember, but we can at least embrace our humanity before anything else.
I remembered, two nights ago three very deep experiences I had in the past, maybe they could even be labelled as a form or a glimpse of "enlightenment" but I would call them more like simply remembering beingness in different densities or more like how water can be solid or liquid or vapor. I will not write in here in detail what those experiences were about but instead describe shortly one and the other two post the links:
In one of them, by the end of 2011, I simply started pondering how it was to be one with another human being, this happened after meeting online my true love. I felt such a bliss, so connected to everything, such happiness and the next day I felt literally one with everything and everyone as if everything was a river of energy, and every person was connected to that river, but the only was for me to differentiate from each other was through their voice or how they wrote. A friend back then was trying to help me ground lol, showing me a video of a gathering but instead I kept feeling like those people were all one and connected by the same energy. I knew that I was not going to be able to remain in that state for long because I could not feel any negative emotion, just pure bliss and pure love for everything, but I knew that my path of lessons was a long one, and I had to feel all those things most people want to avoid. Then, I noticed I did not have personality, I was not a human being, but just a being without personality and connected to everything. My mind could not handle it for long, so I had to go back to my human self.
I realized that I do not want to remain in that state, because I found out something that to me, felt much better:

The other experience was this one:

So I really do not know if any of these experiences are related to the enlightened ones you guys mention in here, because honestly I have never studied any of their teachings, or their lives in much detail.
But another thing that I do remember well is having been the elements themselves, like being rocky soils, mountains, and other complex beings like dragons who knew somehow how to handle the elements. Lately my soulmates in spirit form or their aspects and my own aspects are teaching me how we each can harmonize the weather just with our healing, nothing complicated, no need to manifest elements, but just to allow the collective of Earth to do the rest or our own inner elements to do the jobs.
I remember lifetimes giving my dear soul sister rain, we would both play under the rain. I loved her so much and she loved it when I could give her some soft rainfall. We were already human in this planet.
Oh finally I remember another state of being or consciousness that is different to the above, but that one is like going back to nothingness and everyone has access to it if everyone becomes aware of it.
When you go to sleep, before entering REM state, there is a moment when you go back to that nothingness and might even stop breathing. I do experience moments during sleep when I do not breathe and sometimes wake up not breathing at all. There have been times then when I wake up, feeling like I am nothing in a state of pure peace, not bliss, because joy and bliss and happiness are of lower vibration than peace. Peace is the highest vibration as described in the second experience. However, the human template already has the capacity to experience peace without renouncing to individuality or going back to nothingness.
It all depends on levels of consciousness, densities, and how we open up to those levels simultaneously or one by one.
