3. T+00:00:00 [note]
The author described a complete loss of individual existence, absorbed into what felt like God, Brahman, or the ultimate ground of all being. Tenderness, limitless love, deep peace, and total acceptance coexisted with immense awe, humility, joy, gratitude, and devotion, though the author felt words could not capture any of it. During the peak, lasting an hour at minimum, self and experience were one with no duality remaining. Even four days on, a profound reverence persisted alongside a stable, ecstatic joy that seemed to rise from an inner depth almost never touched before.
