And that was because I'd picked up so much baggage, so much mud, that I had to cleanse my vessel for two years. Not everybody has to do that. But I had two years worth of hard work to do. Now, some people have more than two years worth of hard work, truthfully. And truthfully, I'm still doing the hard work to this day, but I don't have to do it in isolation on my own.
During that two-year period, I did vows of silence. I quit working altogether, but I had the privilege that I had a home and a beautiful environment. I had a person, a housekeeper that would take care of me. I had great books, great access to content and information to study. I had hiking trails out in my backyard, a gym.

So I could spend two years doing nothing but fixing the parts of me that were broken and basically leaving behind. A lot of people say, oh, you're not broken. I was broken. And all the pieces of me were on the ground, and I got to pick up the good parts and leave behind the bad parts and put myself back together again. And that's what I did during that two-year period.

Yes, I've graduated from the teacher of suffering. I no longer need suffering the same way that I used to, although suffering does show up. But when it does, I have a new perspective on it, and I actually learn from it, and I greet it as a friend. Every challenge that comes your way is an opportunity to grow.

And when I pass through that challenge and when I master that challenge and when I extract the lessons from it,
