Some spiritual traditions describe consciousness as an ultimate subject, but i disagree with that. When thee feeling of individuality ceases, objects also. All remains is emptiness. Like the universe never came into existence.

Some might describe it differently, but this is how i experienced it.

I think it's good to have that sense of authority derived from your own experience. Among the handful of indubitable things, your own experience stands at the center.

I'm more loose with explanations and matching my experience up to cultural images, though, especially if the words aren't in my language community.

There was a medieval Christian mystic named Eckhart who advised against putting much weight on strange experiences. He wanted to focus on a particular picture of reality which was Neoplatonic.

Different paths I guess.

Meister Eckhart there, was referring to mystical experiences. (Hallucinations?) I never had any, so can't say much about it.
