You experience glimpses of Enlightenment with the inward-facing senses until you do not perceive them to make a difference. Then, you leave the senses, and as nobody enters the Enlightenment of that which is One. At once, no one gracefully falls into that which is One.
When you use the inward-facing senses intensely, you get glimpses of Enlightenment, while the outward-facing senses work in the background. But if you forget the senses, you enter the Enlightenment of that which is One. It immediately erases your consciousness, so nobody sees the emptiness of you gracefully falling into that which is One. [Photo: Alexius]

Four ways to launch the Enlightenment of that which is One
Since the world generally favours something visible, the visual portal to the Enlightenment of that which is One is the best known. However, there is also an audio, emotional or taste entrance. Like the visual portal, their experience is so intense that you forget to divide your experience of celestial music, for example, into different sounds. Thus, they fuse into one celestial sound, extracting everything definable so nothing gently falls into the formlessness of oneness.
Whether lucid light, celestial music, sublime intimacy or immortal sweetness pulls you into the Enlightenment of that which is One depends on your preferences in the world of the outward-facing senses. But in the Enlightenment of that which is One, you are beyond the senses. So, since you do not experience anything, you do not fight the undoing of the belief in being someone. Ergo, nothing is united with oneness, which never was left since that takes more than one.
Duality Hack #10.1-3 was mostly about entering the Enlightenment of that which is One via its visual portal. But below, Alexius describes his journey through the other portals, one by one.
You can see, hear, feel and taste glimpses of the Enlightenment of that which is One. Which aspect you follow depends on your preference in a world with more than one. However, glimpses are not the Enlightenment of that which is One. They are ways to hold you so spellbound that you do not resist entering the Enlightenment of that which is One to have your belief in more than one undone.
The first time Alexius entered the Enlightenment of that which is One was via an internal lightshow. Much later, he entered the Enlightenment of that which is One by hearing celestial music, tasting immortal sweetness and feeling the echo of oneness. They do not blend, so he did it aspect by aspect.
The sound of Enlightenment
A year after Alexius entered the Enlightenment of that which is One through its visual portal, he heard the most subtle polyphony of bell-like sounds. The sounds seemed to differ, so they were not the Enlightenment of that which is One but its glimpses, experienced with the inward-facing senses.
But in a deep sleep, the concept of an ‘I’ is absent, so nobody can judge a sound to differ. Hence, one night, hearing the sound of one bell, Alexius passed the sound portal to the Enlightenment of that which One. See Duality Hack #11.2.
The taste of Enlightenment
In the flavour portal to the Enlightenment of that which is One, you get droplets of a milk-like fluid, added honey, and a hint of liquorice or strawberry. However, the first taste of this was very discomforting. Alexius’ body reacted like it was attacked, making vomit reflexes.
Thankfully, when he did not try to suppress his response, his panic turned into a lid on a jug with a smoothie-like texture. In ancient scriptures, it was called the nectar of life. Alexius calls it the immortal sweetness. See Duality Hack #11.2.
When you compare the sweet flavour to something familiar, you have glimpses of Enlightenment experienced with the inward-facing senses. But if you do not label the taste, you get one aroma without a specific taste. Therefore, since you are beyond the senses, you enter the Enlightenment of that which is One. However, when Alexius returned to the conscious experience of being someone, he did not realise he had entered the Enlightenment of that which is One via the immortal sweetness. Later, when memories popped up of an immortal sweetness pulling him into a shapeless whirlpool with no specific flavour, he knew..
The feeling of Enlightenment
The emotional portal to the Enlightenment of that which is One is the sublime intimacy you get from the echo of oneness. See Duality Hack #11.4. You can hear or feel the echo. Hearing it was easy for Alexius, but feeling it seemed scary. It took years of fear to simultaneously feel its sublime intimacy twinkle inside him and everywhere else. Finally, when he did not try to escape trembling with fear, the terror vanished, and instead, he felt being an electric body wired to the cosmos.
Alexius still remembers the breakthrough. One night, he was in such deep sleep that the outward-facing senses were off. Then, with the inward-facing senses, he experienced the bed and everything else as an electric body transparently pulsating with tiny bubbles.
Next, the electric body was not made of different shapes. Therefore, since Alexius was formless, nobody experienced the Enlightenment of that which is One. That is why what you read is based on his distant memories of one perpetual present with bubbles moving so fast that there were none. But returning to a world defined by time and space, it seemed like a series of events from a long time ago, yet right here. See Duality Hack #11.4.
When the body ceases to function, you can no longer experience being somebody in the world of outward-facing consciousness. For a brief time, you still experience the world of inward-facing consciousness, from which you are quickly transported as nothing through a tiny black hole into that which is One. This doesn’t mean you must die to return to Oneness. Leaving the world of outward-facing consciousness temporarily is possible at any moment, using Alexius’ Duality Hacks (see also Duality Hack #4.6).
