After death experience whle tripping...

While tripping on big dose once i felt as if i was dead (in human form) but more alive than ever (yet not in human form) i felt like i WAS pure awareness and acceptance of everything, pure life, they weren't human feelings though, i just was everything, yet my human form felt it to some extent as pure bliss, i couldn't say it was happyness though.
I had felt this on shrooms as a human feeling and understanding of one, but had not truly experienced it.
The main factor of this was afterwards, i felt i would not BE it again until after death at some point.
The whole experience has me 100% convinced there is something after death. No doubt in my mind. Not necessarily a personality but energy is the only way i can describe it or consciousness. I was not aware of rebirth at the time but could understand it as an after death/prebirth state. Saying this felt totally aware, there was no need for the concept of rebirth, i was everything, and was convinced this state would come after a death from physical lifeform.
Can anyone offer any explanations of what i was when i reached this state? Where it leads to etc...
Ive been searching and searching and the only thing that adds up is that i caught a glimpse of the 5th Bardo awaiting rebirth as some form of consciousness, i definately felt pristine peace and awareness.
Ive been searching for an explanation and this the what makes most sense...I guess it ties in with the psychedelic experience aswell.
It has sparked a spiritual revolution inside me as i feel i already have a good human understanding of how us as humans effect our own lives and how this works on a cosmic scale.
The one thing i feel im searching for is this explanation of after death/rebirth states.
I love buddhist theory its just very sketchy on this subject.
Theres no name for it apart from "Vijñāna" which seems to live on after death and becomes rebirthed through the impetus (momentum/intention) of previous karma.
Any thoughts?

Sounds like a good experience. My advice is to use the Buddhist teachings as necessary but to seek further awareness by adopting a practice such as mindfulness meditation or zazen. Any explanation you get from any text will be limiting.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Read up on Bardo and the Lifestream. I experienced this same phenomenon about 10 days ago. I think it's basically just the life force- the raw energy of all living existence. It's like a stream of which all life is a part. Everything that is "you" is just a part of this lifestream.
It's hard to explain, and I don't really know much beyond what I've experienced, but it basically seems to me that what you saw is the pool of life- existence witnessed in its purest form, in which only energy and consciousness exists and objects do not.

That awareness that you felt is your true nature. It has been there and will always be there. You don't have to wait until after death to experience it.
The only problem with our normal state is that we give all of our attention to our mind/beliefs/thoughts etc. and ignore the fundamental awareness in which all of it arises. Think about it your true nature would have to be that which is always with you right? Anything that changes couldn't be you. So what changes in your experience. All feelings, sensations, thoughts, images, your body all these things change. The one thing that never changes is that fundamental knowingness of being present and aware. This awareness is infinite, unconditional love and includes everything.
That is who you are. But don't take it from me, I'm just spouting off what I've heard. Look into for yourself.
Here are some good movies http://youtube.com/user/Moojiji and a whole bunch of links http://members.iinet.net.au/~adamson7/links.html

That is exactly what it felt like, pure life and pure potential 
Thanks for the replies you guys have helped me be still again
