Each one has gone beyond the original question and given me little insights into the things I came here to understand. So now I have another question. I guess it's time to let the wolves have at my carcass. When I was a young man, I began meditating, and in the midle of my meditation, I encountered a deep awakening. It felt like I was hit by a baseball bat. I drew a breath of oxygen like a man who had been underwater too long, and it felt like I sucked in the entire world into my lungs. My view of the world was incredibly expanded at that exact point. Emotionally, it was overwhelming; I laughed, cried, and felt every emotion possible all at once. Now, I've never gone as far as to say this is enlightenment, that would be arrogant, but my life changed profoundly in a heartbeat and set me on a path I'm on to this day. Any one want to speculate on this matter? It's an answer I've searched for for a very long time and i would welcome any comments on this matter.
