Not at all. I don't "class" your experiences at all. *Sometimes* when you're discussing them, the energy of samadhi comes through what you've written; other times the energy of strong emotion, which is *not* samadhi, comes through. That's a very different thing that those for whom the energy of samadhi *never* comes through.
