ZD: CC/Kensho events cont:
Paul Rezendez: Then the extraordinary happened. Suddenly there was a "seeing"......In that moment I saw that wildness was the whole universe. All things were manifesting in it. Wildness was the bear in the Adirondacks, the coyote and the doe in the dance of life and death. It was as if I had been asleep all my life and had been dreaming about being a gang leader and a yoga teacher in an ashram. I had woken up and realized that I was not just the gang leader, yoga teacher, thinker of the thought--I was the universe, every rock, tree, cloud, animal, and person on the planet. I was the moon and stars, intelligence, awareness, compassion, love, direct communication, the dance of life and death, and the web of life. A door had opened, and the wild blew in.
Helen Courtois: The small green desk at which I'd been so thoughtlessly gazing had totally and radically changed. It appeared now with a clarity, a depth of three-dimensionality, a freshness I had never imagined possible. At the same time, in a way that is utterly indescribable, all my questions and doubts were gone as effortlessly as chaff in the wind. I knew everything and all at once, yet not in the sense that I had ever known anything before......The foundations of my world had fallen. I had plunged into a numinous oneness which had obliterated all fixed distinctions including that of within and without. A Presence had absorbed the universe including myself, and to this I surrendered in absolute confidence........It was as if, before this all occurred, "I" had been a fixed point inside my head looking out at a world out there, a separate and comparatively flat world. ......Feeling myself centered as never before, at the same time I knew the whole universe to be centered at every point. Having plunged to the center of emptiness, having lost all purposefulness in the old sense, I had never felt so one-pointed, so clear and decisive. Freed from separateness, feeling one with the universe, everything including myself had become at once unique and equal. If God was the word for this Presence in which I was absorbed, then everything was either holy or nothing; no distinction was possible. All was meaningful, complete as it was, each bird, bud, midge, mole, atom, crystal, of total importance to the whole. I now saw the wholeness and holiness are one.
Anyone who has had a deep CC will understand exactly what each one of these different people is pointing to in their own way.

Yes, I am one of those who has had several "deep CC's" beginning when I was a child.
And indeedy-do, I do understand/grok what is being pointed to.....but that is something very different ZD than asserting that due to a CC/Kensho/mystical woo-woo experience, that you now know for absolute certain that appearing people, rocks, socks and piles of bovine excrement are known for absolute certain to BE perceiving/experiencing.
It's interesting....you are more than ready at times in general convo to share your CC/Kensho stories, sparing no detail too minute, in the process, but when challenged, you always resort to sharing the stories of others.
If there is true apprehension of SR 'there' ZD, you should be more than able to speak about that without invoking the words/experiences of (apparent) others.
