This is an article not meant for everyone. Only a few will grasp the essence of my words and understand the depth of my experience.

Most events can be captured by words, but occasionally, we encounter moments so profound that language becomes inadequate. They can be so heartbreakingly painful or exhilaratingly joyous that words simply cannot suffice.

The events I have lived through are beyond the realm of words. They defy description.

But I will attempt it nonetheless.

A few years ago, I was unceremoniously cast out from a relationship. Initially, it was agonizing because I had placed all my faith in it.

Months passed as I struggled to recover from this loss, and what emerged was even more distressing.

The sorrow I felt struck at something deeper, something unrelated to the relationship itself. It was like a downward spiral, pulling me into the depths of despair.

During those dark months, I was barely functional. Mornings brought a fleeting moment of bliss, only to be quickly overshadowed by the relentless return of yesterday’s memories, plunging me back into darkness. I cried often, without knowing why.

As the afternoons waned, a faint light would appear, and I dreaded bedtime because I knew the cycle would repeat the next morning.

After months of enduring this darkness, I decided to embark on a retreat. I felt an urgent need to confront the monster within, whatever it might be.

I left home, and throughout the journey to the retreat, I battled with excuses to turn back. But I persevered.

The trip took four hours. After unpacking and having dinner, I settled on my cushion and attempted to meditate.

Meditation is not merely a practice; it is a journey into oneself.

You can meditate on many things, but true meditation transcends focus.

I have a teacher, and I followed his guidance faithfully because it always leads to clarity.

I vividly remember our first meeting when he inquired about my meditation practice. I explained my attempts to relax and described the thoughts, feelings, and images that constantly raced through my mind.

Then he posed a simple yet profound question—one that transformed my understanding: WHO is it that observes your thoughts, feelings, and images? Who is it that is AWARE?

In that moment, clarity struck like a bolt of lightning. I had been seeking truth by looking outward from “Who is aware.” But from then on, I knew I had to look inward to “Who is aware.”

That summer night, under a sky adorned with blinking stars, I did just that.

Instantly, my mind shifted from a state of despair to one of crystalline clarity and silence, mirroring the night sky. My consciousness expanded, and I felt an exquisite oneness with the universe. I wasn’t quite one with the universe; I felt like I was, and there’s a subtle but significant difference. This feeling was magnificent, but even that I had tolet go of. Because, WHO was aware of this feeling?

The depression was gone. Transformed.

Within every negative state lies a hidden gift, buried in the darkness. It reveals itself when you let go. Looking INTO “Who is aware” is a powerful way to let go.

Buckle your seatbelts, Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye-bye!

Years later, during meditation, everything around me began to whirl in a spiral, like water draining from a bathtub. In this spiral, everything transformed into light. I became part of an infinite sea of light, and it was beyond extraordinary. The reality as we knew it vanished, and I felt no fear.

I was part of this infinite sea of light, and so was the rest of humanity. Those who say “We are all one” have no idea how profoundly true that statement is!

From this event, I learned that we are all interconnected. I also learned that everything is made of energy. The smallest electrons and quarks are contractions of this energy. But there is more. This energy is made of light, the light I briefly became, flowing from a source—the Source. The source of creation, the source of Love.

The most crucial lesson I learned is that it’s not about being loved by your parents, family, friends, or a partner. It’s about how deeply you love them. Your capacity for love is what truly matters. And herein lies another secret: I felt so profoundly loved by the universe that I can say with certainty the universe has enough love for you, me, and everyone, forever!

The Love from the universe is UNLIMITED! And we can all tap into it.

One Love!
