I got the book 'Collision with the Infinite', a bestseller in the USA from Suzanne Segal, some call it enlightenment.
She was a TM-teacher, what I read between the lines is hell, not enlightenment, being out of body in the observer, never having the feeling of being normal again, searching non-stop for her lost self. It is a constant search to understand what has happened to her and the feeling of not being normal, how can that be enlightenment, if she doesn't understand?
She went from therapist to therapist, nobody could help her; she was lost.
The self is both the point and unlimited consciousness, the point in the infinite. If she cannot find it, and it is lost, it is not enlightenment to not have an I. She describes in the book that Maharishi said a state of consciousness needs an affirmation of the master, of a Guru, to be realized, otherwise, it cannot be recognized. And she also mentiones that he was not there to confirm that, so she thought he was there, because he told so, but he was not...
It is what Osho describes, when he said that TM people get lost, because the master is not at his place. Of course, nobody knows when he begins to meditate, he finds out what the difference is when he gets lost..., no he never realizes it, like Suzanne Segal, she tried to make peace with that state to find answers in Buddhism, emptyness, just a way to make peace with a state of mind which cannot be in peace with the self anymore, because the self got lost, not realized.
That is not enlightenment, but hell. Understanding is the key. If we cannot understand what has happened, because the master is not there..., that is and will never end in enlightenment..., but people who got lost and died early.
