The state of Enlightenment can come suddenly without much training or may require years of practice. The state once achieved may last only a few seconds or any period of time longer. For some the state once achieved and lost may become a negative, since ordinary life may seem drab like coming down from a drug high. Accompanying the state of beatific experience may come the realization or conceptual experience that all reality is a single unified entity or organism, that is usually described as 'Oneness or The One'. In this state of consciousness there is no sense of opposites or opposition, but all a unified whole. The actual state of Enlightenment is not really describable, but is more of a sensory experience. The state unified as a single manifestation is absent comparative states outside itself, which would be helpful in its
description.
Also accompanying this state may come a superb sensory feeling of Love and contentment. This sensory manifestation is apropos to what is called
Natural Affection, which is the sensory experience absent intellectual duality and finite definition, which is defined as
Emotion, or what sensory experience should be.
