Hi Rhythman,
I went back and looked at the book again to really try to understand exactly what the book offers or says can be achieved by following the exercises.
It has a lot of terms and explanations in it, and I found it easy to get lost in it when I read it.
So I'll try to give a quick summary of what I understood from reading parts of it, hopefully it might help out.
I guess the main state the book is talking about is what he calls 'the no state state'. He also equates this state with the quantum level where everything is one, and is made of the same substance.
He says whenever he entered this state, the difference between himself and whatever he observed disappeared, and he was "left in a quiet wholeness"
He says that the experience of "Quantumn Consciousness" is the same thing ancient texts describes as samadhi or satori.
He also describes this state as "pain free" where "personal problems would appear and disappear".
The exercises are supposed to show one how to experience these states at different levels.
So, each level described in the book has its own experiences and discoveries down to the most advanced level where everything is experienced as one.
According to the book, after experiencing this state, to re-enter it all you have to do is learn to shift your attention.
It seems very similar to what the other posters have posted as well.
Hope that helps, take care..
