as it doesn't capture the whole picture, but meditative practices like Vipassana can allow you to widen the gap between the stimulus and the response and cultivate the capacity for equanimity in the face of any sensation and experience that is so invaluable to have that. Arguably, one of the most transformational things for our consciousness is our ability to simply sit quietly and

and not need something special to happen in the next moment and to be able to just essentially be with what is period end of story um not meaning that we don't take action or we don't change you know what's happening but but that ability is really powerful and just to kind of close out the and put a ribbon on on your story of of meditating for 14 hours a day for six months there are these

like latent faculties that we just don't get to experience because we're scrolling on TikTok all day. Like because we haven't been immersed or shown the kind of user manual of the human body and mind and what's possible when your mind is so concentrated. and how blissful it can be to simply be sitting down. When you taste that, I think your perception of life radically changes.

You stop being under the illusion that your ultimate happiness and key to fulfillment is somewhere external because you've experienced it. You've tasted that full satiation internally that wasn't attached to anything happening outside of yourself.

I know you had lots of difficulties throughout the time, but I know when you're focusing that much on a contemplative practice like that, you discover faculties and like capabilities as a human being that you just were not privy to. And I think it's an important reflection. So what was that like?

um the coming back was that's where the work started i think it's a one more thing important thing to come back to was uh the awareness of how even meditation itself can become a behavioral compensation and coping mechanism to not have to go into the story and that perspective that you can be with anything that you can be your own best friend uh
