Beautiful experience, Bill. Don't pay attention to that old spoil sport, Barry. He can't stand it if someone is happy. It creeps him out. What a Grinch. I remember "Maharishi Said" (paraphrasing) there is no path, the concept of a path is for the ignorant. Since the range or creative intelligence is from here to here, there's nowhere to go. You're already "here" so just BE. The 20 points may offer sign posts along the "path" but when you arrive so naturally, and so effortlessly to a familiar place that feels like home, you realize you haven't been anywhere at all. You have always been home, you are the Home, you are the Silence.
