On my TTC in Fiuggi I had my first experience
in this lifetime with enlightenment.  I sat to
meditate one afternoon and had the clearest
experience of transcendence I'd ever had. Hours
later, I got up and started to get dressed for
dinner and realized that the transcendence had
not gone away; it was still present.  It stayed
present for a few weeks, whatever else I was
doing.

I was keeping a Journal while on that course.  I 
still have it.  The day before I had this exper-
ience, I was writing in it about how far away 
enlightenment seemed and how I'd never get "there."  
The next day I was writing about how it now 
appeared as if it had never NOT been "there."
My first realization was that it had ALWAYS
been "there," and I just hadn't noticed.  Very
"before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water;
after enlightenment, chop wood and carry water."

But my handwriting "before" and "after" couldn't
have been more different, coming from the same
person.  Big difference.  Go figure.
