Abstract

This article presents a five‑and‑a‑half‑year longitudinal phenomenological case study documenting structured visual experiences occurring in full waking consciousness following contemplative prayer after identical twin bereavement. The dataset exhibits two distinct phases: an extended period of stable abstract geometric configurations (2020–2026), followed by a recent transition in which the same geometric forms appear within the visual templates of contemporary smartphone and tablet interfaces. Drawing on Sir Alister Hardy's taxonomic approach, the study treats these experiences as first‑person data requiring disciplined documentation, chronological calibration, and symbolic analysis. An exploratory interpretive framework—the "Enochic Paradigm"—is employed heuristically to situate the geometric and technological forms within historical symbolic grammars, including early Jewish apocalyptic traditions and contemporary media ecology. The study concludes that the structured, multi‑year trajectory warrants further interdisciplinary attention, particularly regarding symbolic development, continuing bonds, and long‑term anomalous experience.
