Characteristics of Monadic Consciousness 1) The experience begins in a state of non-duality and infinite Oneness. 2) It seems to take place in a boundless space of pure warm light. 3) It is “beyond thoughts” or exhibits the inability to have thoughts. 4) There is sense of a whole original self, soul, or a primal state of being. 5) The basic dichotomy of “I” versus “other” is transcended. 6) Just your pure centerless awareness or “default” presence remains. 7) Everything stripped away—no more ego, striving, attachments. 8) There is a sense of eternity with no experience of time. 9) No fear; nothing to fear because it is beyond thoughts. 10) Attainment of complete knowledge or direct gnosis of reality. 11) The feeling is one of infinite satisfaction, bliss, and perfect serenity. 12) In describing the experience, it remains paradoxical and ineffable.
