Yeah. I find that many experiences that I’ve had in meditation-induced states are basically impossible to recall precisely: I will only remember a surface impression or verbal summary of what the state felt like. Then when I get back to that state, I have an experience of “oh yeah, this is what those words that I wrote down earlier really meant”.
That tracks with descriptions I’ve heard from other meditators of working with the mind in rarified states, but it’s unfortunate for the purposes of discourse. Ah well; back to the cushion, then!
