' An Abrupt Awakening '...

Enlightenment is always "sudden" in the sense that during meditation or reverie or relaxation the preliminary thought-

concentrating gestatory period usually moves through consciousness quite slowly until,

at some unexpected moment,

there is an abrupt deepening,

followed by a slipping into another dimension,

a finding oneself alive in a new atmosphere.
