Thanks for sharing. As someone who has tried and given up on meditation multiple times, I can relate to the struggle and frustration in not being able to find "the flow". Glad to know you're sometimes able to cross into the other side :)
I'm not an evangelist about it -- I'm not sure it's the right thing for everyone. I do think that pretty much anyone can benefit from an "ecology of practices" to steal the phrase from John Vervaeke. Some combo platter of mindfullness, contemplation, bodywork and study, whether that's in a ecumenical framework or a dogmatic one.
I also find it very difficult to articulate much about my inner processes.
Been “on and off the cushion” for 46 years now. Seems like five, maybe 10. Idk.
Anyway, about all I can say with complete clarity and sincerity is that I am deeply grateful to have been exposed to meditation and eastern philosophy at age 20. Truly a gift.
May all beings remember some aspects of their True Nature and perhaps find some measure of inner peace and compassion for all beings.
Dave thank you for sharing your experiences. Would love to talk in person or via Zoom/Teams etc - we appear to have lots of experiences in common. Take care my friend.

Well done Dave.
