I'm always quite hesitant to mention Kundalini experiences, but I think that's a more common term for what Einzige may be describing - it's what instantly entered my mind while reading his posts, but I have a tendancy to look for it everywhere. Assuming this is the sort of experience he describes, I imagine he rejects the ties it has to established religions/philosophies and sees it as more of a purely biological construction.. of which I see no real purpose (perhaps ultimate contentedness?) The temporary but always profound snippits of experiences I've had with dissolution of the ego have actually always been paradoxical. It is the purest sense of all, no sense at all. And it's a noble goal to try to achieve without the use of drugs, which always end with the sensations (or lack thereof) seeming too artificial after the fact.

That said, I don't think it itself can't mesh with Christianity figuratively speaking (Holy Spirit anyone?) I think most religions have the same kind of goal when you get down to the very base of them without tying in all of the moralistic/mythological BS. Buddhism is just exceptional because it is so much more up front about it.

That said I'll leave the discussion to the more learned.
