I think this sort of "divine light" experience happens to a lot of people. In the Burmese school of Buddhism started by Mahasi Sayadaw, there is a stage of insight called the "Arising and Passing Away" that teachers identify when their students report phenomena like this. If you go to a Buddhist internet community like dharmaoverground.org, you will find a lot of people reporting and discussing this sort of thing.

Although I no longer consider myself Buddhist, I don't know what to make of it.
