| | Not every one describes a classic A&P event, per se. There are those people who get into the territory, have energetic or blissful experiences that never reach some defined peak or have some big zap! or whatever, and yet they then go on to Third Vipassana Jhana/Dark Night/Dukkha Ñana territory anyway. There are others that get into the early part of A&P territory but have not yet had sufficient exposure to cross over it, event or other wise. Then there are plenty that do have a big event that was way different from before, some big bolt of energy through their spine, some explosion of consciousness, some big bright light or lights, some quick dip into some very incomprehensible territory. Most of these are very different from a Fruition, particularly if you include what surrounds them, as Fruitions tend to come out of very calm, ordinary, and yet clear, quiet and accepting mind states, where as there tends to be a lot of drama, shaking, bliss, energy, intensity, lights, dream stuff, etc. around the A&P. |
