At a certain stage, it becomes a more or less permanent view.
I know it sounds trite, but all you need do it BE yourself. What more can you do?
Woah, thats literally mindblowing. So what your saying is that if I am that, then all I need to do is abide as that?
Does anyone have any advice on how I could cope with this. Any techniques or anything that could help intensify the experiance and make it more prominant, that would be nice.

Consciousness is like an iris. You have to let it expand on its own... all in good time... what's the hurry... you are eternal.
Because of this experiance im deciding to drop Buddhism and focus all my spiritual energy on this feeling.
That will be my practice
And that feeling will be my refuge from now on.

I suggest you meditate on the feeling.
Just free a couple of hours, close all light in your room, light unscented candles, go out and buy incense that reminds you of the feeling and light it. For added effect you can smoke some herbal marijuana, i don't suggest anything strong but something that will enlighten you. And focus on this feeling and seance of it.
You will realize what you need to do.

Thank you for your response SadhSangat! I will try to free a couple of hours to fully concentrate on the feeling. I could use candle and incense but Im probably not going to use any form of intoxicants. I would much rather be intoxicated by 'Bliss of Being' then an herb. But, I should keep my mind open and the possiblity of trying it is within me.
My personal observation is bliss is completely natural. It is our natural state and comes with being. The light sensation of being and being without thoughts simply allows that bliss to be noticed. Normally the bliss is drowned out by noise; thoughts, people, cooking and daily repetitions.
Once this is known and one knows that it is no longer a question of desire, effort, mantras, memorising the scriptures etc then it will forever be you - and you will be it, liberated whilst living.

I agree with most of the things already said.
Dear Being, I would say to you, quoting my favourite master, Lin Ji: "Kill the Buddha".
Or, with Ummon, "Buddha is dried-**** stick".
Don't fear, don't wish, don't be attached to this or that concept, just watch existence, the way it comes to you, and surrender completely to it.
