Just wondering what state you would call this, do you think it's everlasting? I already asked him how long he's been feeling this way, awaiting answer: http://www.reddit.com/r/Psychonaut/comments/2aaq7h/have_i_reached_my_state_of_nirvana_or_can_it/

He writes "Every time I go meditate..." so the experience is not everlasting. He has it only when he meditates.
The level of happiness you experience is not easy to describe in words. What he feels like "all i am is the univers ... etc." maybe the same experience for an advanced meditator is normal and won't even talk about it.
Maybe he goes only 1 time a week to meditate...just put him in an intense retreat doing 14 hours+ practice (with some bugs and moskitos) then you can see how long this experience last...
