Quote:
Since every experience is a conditioning factor, to reach such a state you've have to return to a pre-birth form of experience. You'd have to be able to passively shut out every single imprint of every single experience accumulated throughout your life.
Short of extensive brain damage, do you think that's possible?

I believe you can do that. This is what happened to U.G. Krishnamurti. After his enlightenment he was like a child. He could speak but he didn't have any proper definitions in his brain. So he walked around all day constantly pointing for example at a flower and asking what is that? He had no memory, or lets say no dictionary to recall what are the things he observed.
He called this state "the natural state".
Also he did not call it enlightenment but a calamity. He saw no use of this state and he would live better without it. He did not believe any sort of practice, meditation or yoga brought him into that state, it was just a biological mutation in his brain.
