I actually got it for about an hour, yesterday, I think. It's being non-reactive to your thoughts and knowing that you're not your thoughts, you're the observer, and you stop identifying with them, because there is no need for it, and it's instant, nothing emotional drags along. And you can choose to completely be indifferent to a thought or feel unconditional love for it. Also you become very aware of everything, your breathing, your surroundings without any effort. I became very aware of my actions when I was making myself something to eat, lol. I also noticed that most of my chakra's felt pretty much open, especially the throat, heart and solar plexus. It was also very easy to connect to a higher consciousness, I got these almost all-encompassing insights that were pretty mind-boggling. But when I started identifying with some old familiar thoughts that normally would keep me occupied I could notice that it started to diminish, that's when I tried harder to keep it and "lost" it.
I'm not really sure what I did to get myself in that position in the first place, have been listening/reading a lot from Eckhart Tolle along with some random articles off and on for the last week, and reading a lot about the Four Noble Truths but I notice with this stuff it's very fleeting (could also be from sleeping pretty badly for the last few weeks). I can read something or listen to it but it's mostly gone after a few days. When I 'got' it I tried to acknowledge to myself that there isn't a past (since I'm very past oriented) and succeeded in that, after that I focused on the cause of suffering (which is craving/desire) and trying to become non-attached to it, but I noticed that I was attaching myself too much to the outcome of getting it so I let it go. Then I noticed how aware/present I became of everything.
