“Despite all that I had seen, despite all the spiritual knowledge that I had gathered, it didn’t really matter. That’s what I realized…all these experiences don’t mean a damn if you’re still thinking of yourself as this separate thing and that hasn’t been seen through fully… I was addicted to… spiritual enlightenment, which is a potent potent drug. And that’s what I realized in the course too, spiritual experiences are really just a super big high, and that’s what I was looking for… and I got them, and then I lost them, because that’s the nature of experience.”
