The third time was during a 10 day Vipanassa medication retreat (shorter just just as amazing).
This state can be induced by drugs, therefore it removes any form of spirituality from it IMO. The state of oneness is some kind of brain malfunction, like being drunk with alcohol. This is why people took LSD in the 70's, it's the same thing I guess. This state of oneness feels good but is it good for you?
Eckhart Tolle spent 2 years on a park bench in this state. He was basically a bum. What I'm trying to say is that this state is not normal and doesn't help you survive in this world. That's why it's nice to have this sort of trip from time to time but having it all the time would be a mistake.
