Default strange experience, please advise

Just now I had a very strange experience that I am not sure what it is, may the more spiritually knowledgeable please advise me.

I was reading "I Am That" and contemplating the nature of consciousness and awareness when I had a sudden insight that everything was included in consciousness, and consciousness could not be there without awareness. Suddenly the knowingness of being God and/or the witness/Eye of God came unbidden, as well as the sudden fear that "I" was dissolving. At the time I felt it may have been the Final Doorway, or perhaps the Void; the knowingness that nothing could have existed without awareness/God came, and it did indeed feel beyond time and space and consciousness.

I froze, closed my eyes, tried to surrender everything, but the fear was there. Suddenly I felt multicolored lights flashing in my head and in my eyes, and my body spasming. Felt like the Kundalini was rising as well, and pressure at the 3rd eye chakra. I tried to meditate/close my eyes and surrender to the process, but it seems like after 15 minutes or so the feeling of possible dissolution went away and I still remained. However, my body is still spasming/shaking right now as I am typing this, as if with I were freezing, even though I am wearing multiple layers of clothing.

Has anyone had any similar experiences who can help advise me? I do not understand what this is, and the fear of the unknown is holding me back.

Namaste,
Ethereal
