Curious to see how long these feelings last and what your 1-year retrospective is like! Not to diminish this experience at all, but the aging of the experience has been where most of my biggest lessons come from (tho I’ve never worked w K)

Hey Ben! This was actually two years ago. I didn’t write about it for a long time for the exact reason you mentioned. But two years out the experience is as durable as it was after it happened. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about it or anchor in it in some way.

Good for you. I have done similar work (happy to chat via DM) and have found huge shifts as well. However, I think of it like a band or confidence interval. My “high point” is much higher now, but my band is wide enough that on tough days I find myself still able to access the upper reaches of the low energy, if that makes sense. Wonder how it works for you! I must say, I think the potholes will always exist on the road of life and this work is more about how we deal with them, rather than thinking the road just gets paved. Maybe I just have a long way to go!

Love everything you said. The band you mention has been a similar experience for me. The low points / negative headspace are still a reality, but they don't seem to have as much length or depth as they did before. The experience was less of a Tolle-esque enlightenment and more of a "This is an incredibly meaningful insight that I want to hold on to." And so far I've hung on.
