Background
A description of the experience
C G Jung – Memories, Dreams and Reflections
We shy away from the word eternal, but I can describe the experience only as the ecstasy of a non temporal state in which present, past and future are one, everything that happens in time had been brought together in a concrete whole. Nothing was distributed over time, nothing could be measured by temporal concepts. The experience might be best defined as a state of feeling, but one which cannot be produced by imagination. How can I imagine that I exist simultaneously the day before yesterday, today and the day after tomorrow?… One is interwoven into an indescribable whole and yet observes it with complete objectivity
