Moksha and nirvana
Moksha and nirvana
Moksha and nirvana are also called in mystic Christianity ‘Rapture’.
In this experience you merge with your Higher spirit. This is often referred to as the ‘chemical wedding’, the will remains the will and the composer remains the composer, but you in effect act in tandem.
In this experience your personality is not extinguished – ‘you’ are still you.
An advanced stage of enlightenment.
