"For the individual this ecstatic experience known as Nirvana is one of 'Rebirth': the mind becomes revitalized and flooded with new information and knowledge, and one attains a higher perception of oneself and the cosmos -- what Buddhists call Bodhi, Enlightenment or Awakening to the true nature of reality." - (The Shining Ones: The World's Most Powerful Secret Society Revealed - by Philip Gardiner and Gary Osborn)
