Hi Ringle,
Welcome to the forums! Though given your experience ten years ago, I don't know if I should be saying "welcome back to planet earth!" Wow. That experience, and your ability to put it into words, is awe-inspiring. It reminded me of the sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Though I imagine your face was a little less screwed up than the spaceship-traveling protagonist's. (If you've never seen it, it takes place near the end of the movie.)
Do you know how long you were "gone" in clock time? Did anyone else observe you passing out? I wonder how you appeared externally, if you looked like you were sleeping or comatose.
Many are the ways that people uniquely awaken to greater reality. For some it could be a book, a drug experience, a trauma, a dream, or even witness to the seeming birth of the universe, that launches the more conscious portion of the journey. How extraordinary. And without seeming prompt or identifiable trigger in your case as well, unless there is something magical about Camp Bestival. If my conscious self could have chosen how to awaken, hands down I'd choose your experience, but each such gift is catered to the unique needs of the unique person.
I got a chuckle out of "Not with 1000 ecstasy pills could you achieve this feeling." That puts it into perspective... though I wonder what 5,000 would do...
Discovery of the Law of One blew my mind as well (and almost 22 years later, continues to blow my mind). But for me it was a philosophical-spiritual revelation, an introduction to something completely "new" from the standpoint of my incarnational perspective, but ancient or timeless, of course, an awakening of that which was already known in the depths, unknown to the conscious mind. For you, the discovery of the Law of One was a validation. Same with being a wanderer. Some people know prior to the LOO and find the validation they had always sought or sensed, whereas others only become aware once reading this elegant postcard from home.
I can imagine the desire to know what happened and why. In my experience working with seekers and wanderers, these things remain generally a mystery, or at least elusive to pinpoint comprehension. I think it safe to say that your indigo ray (the third eye in various traditions) opened, allowing you to tap intelligent infinity on some level. I am sure it has opened many interior doors for you, and given you an anchor or baseline to guide your journey. Thanks for sharing it with us, Ringle, and once again, welcome!
