\nDear Freddie,<\/p>\n
Months have passed since our mail exchanges, so I wanted to leave an update.<\/p>\n
In April, I had a Kundalini experience that almost shattered me; I thought I was going to die. It was as textbook as Kundalini experiences come. Still it was an experience. <\/p>\n
Later, in May, “something” altogether different happened. A glimpse words will never be able to convey. Something dropped without reason or apparent cause. I was peace, complete, unshakable peace not tied to any object or thought, wanting nothing, longing for nothing. It wasn’t a state, because the world could not touch me as long as the glimpse lasted, whereas states are subjected to external circumstances. Mind was present, but I truly wasn’t paying attention to thoughts, so for what was worth it could not have been there. Fear was nowhere to be found. I instantly recognized that peace as a sort of “unmasking”. In my life I’ve tried many drugs, of various kinds. So I can truly say there is no comparison. Substances produce sedation and pleasurable numbness, or strange visuals. In that moment I was truly and fully alive to myself. The glimpse was a glimpse, but since that day my process shifted in a different direction with different priorities. I now understand what you attempted to tell me, but since there is no way to communicate it with language, it was always bound to fail.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
