A couple of weeks ago I went on a spiritual retreat led by Andrew Cohen. There is too much to record here right now, but basically I learned that by meditating with the intention to transform spiritually (as opposed to simply making incremental improvements), I could connect with a life energy so profound and intelligent.
I also learned that I didnt need to depend on others for love and support and approval by doing this. I learned that I could set the example, because I can get my energy and focus from what Cohen calls the Ground of Being, but any casual person might call God.
I started meditating this way for two weeks and felt an immediate change. Other things happened. I had loving sex with my wife TWICE in the same weekend. I got her to agree to meditate.
Oddly - and not really importantly - I feel a bit lost and even guilty for starting to leave my old ways of thinking behind me. I used to think that my fantasy life had at least SOME merit. I used to think that I had a reason to not take responsibility for my life and my decisions.
It doesnt change the fact that meditating for 30 minutes every day is probably the most important and transformative decision I've ever made.
