My mind stopped in my second formal meditation sit in 2004. The story is entertaining, the outcome transformative. I transcended – went across – myself, discovering what was on the other side. Until your mind has stopped you don’t know who or what you are or who or what the world is. After it has stopped you are not enlightened but you are surely more enlightened than you were before it happened. It informs everything you do, which is why I’m telling the story.
