I could see 360 degrees, the presence of God, love.

The beauty was everywhere.

The love that poured into my being was so profound.

And I was just a part of everything.

I would breathe in and out.

The universe would just kind of move like that.

I was one.

And so when I came out of that, everything around me was glowing with luminosity.

The lint on the rug was alive.

Everything was alive.

And I could never get back in that box again.

Everything changed for me.

And I began to go on a research to find out what had happened to me.

And that's when I bumped into all of the mystical teachings of Gautama the Buddha, Jesus the Christ, Zoroaster, Walter Russell, Immanuel Swedenborg.

There was a lot of beings that had similar experiences.

that gave me an awareness that I wasn't crazy, that I actually was having some kind of an awakening.

That was the beginning of me going deep into meditation.

Now, this is years ago.

I had no conscious desire to be like a public person, to teach or anything like that.

I was just so in love.
