If it happens frequently, you need to see a doctor.

I am curious because I think it might have something to do with spiritual ascension. If you are experiencing this you may be on the path to enlightenment.
That pretty much describes when I see that effect. Rubbing my eyes too hard,once when I got hit in the head with a big rock, and several times when I've stood up too quickly. It's rare for me but it happens on occasion as I suspect it does for most people.
"Seeing stars" is a common visual complaint, but it is usually a normal and harmless occurrence. If you close your eyes and rub them, you will probably see spots and flashes of light. These images you see are called "phosphenes," an entoptic phenomenon characterized by the experience of seeing light without light actually entering the eye....
These stars, or spots of light, that you see can occur after a sneeze, a deep cough, a blow to the head or low blood pressure (such as standing up too quickly).
OK I haven't experienced anything that severe but if I did frequently, I'd see a doctor and I'd suggest anyone having frequent problems like that get checked out by a doctor.
Some people see flashes or lines of light that often last up to 10 to 20 minutes. These flashes of light are generally caused by a spasm of blood vessels in the brain, called a "migraine." If a headache follows the flashes, it is called a "migraine headache." If these flashes or lines of light occur without a headache, it is called an "ophthalmic migraine," or migraine without a headache.
While usually harmless, frequent flashes of light can be a warning sign of something more serious. A comprehensive eye examination will be needed to determine the cause.
