There seems to be a general practice of not sharing one’s meditative experiences. I can sorta see why: it’s hard to do so without sounding pretentious, and I wasn’t really able to avoid that. Also, talking so long about myself just seems wrong, as it’s violating a well-known social convention. But I figured the benefits of sharing outweighed the costs.
I’m glad you shared as well. I think the general practice of not sharing is part of the culture of no-self; it seems egotistical to talk about one’s meditation awesomeness. I also think the benefits of violating it outweigh the costs. I’m going to try to comment with some of my experiences later.

ETA: Here is the comment I promised.
