With enlightenmtent a lot of native traditions label the state of being an additional object 'shape-shifting', but I am not very certain about that. It is more like when my feeling of 'self' dissolves in nature then there is more of my consciousness available to determine the planet from other points of view. It is like an expanded state of consciousness in that I naturally get to experience the five senses of objects exterior to me, like the lizard, bird and fish I just became in nature.
Throughout this state of being all objects at the same time, it feels like a complete one-ness. It is as though there is no separation between myself and things external. I'm every thing (and absolutely nothing) all at the same time. And there's no separation not only in between myself and other, but no separation between other and other. All objects are the exact same. All coming through the same.
And while within this state it is as if there's an unified force that is guiding all of the universe. Perhaps this is actually the life-force, but I discover there is a delicate power within the trees, the clouds, the oceans, the animals that's guiding them (us) through life. This power has an innate wisdom in that my internal voice can talk with this particular force within every tree, rock, stream and mountain.
With this power that is constantly guiding every thing, it's like this wisdom is all over the place just waiting to be tapped into. I liken this power to 'the creator' in that the force designs everything with it's own guiding force. And I encounter that I'm this power, however it is also me. The reason for this is there is no separation between the creator or everybody else. It is like all I am is the creator encountering by itself via me.
This is a strange state to experience life through however the more I'm out on my own in nature, the more it appears to become true. There really is no separation in between myself or anything else outside of myself.
I don't know if this state of oneness and connectedness is known as enlightenment or not however it is totally feasible to connect into another realm of consciousness by investing time alone in nature with out distractions for 3-4 days. Then when you enter this state many times and practice you can then turn the encounter of it on and off at will... even whilst in active shopping centers.
