People who stumble into awakening on their own very much do have a problem putting their experience into words because they’re trying to communicate a subjective experience that most of the people they talk to have no base of reference for.
Once anecdote I’ve read had a woman describe the experience as being “bigger”. I interpret this to mean that the non-self objects in her consciousness no longer feel like “non-self” because the self/non-self duality has evaporated.
There are indeed different ways to get to awakening. Traditional Buddhist methods are not the only effective means.
