I liked this man's writing a lot. The article was worth a read for sure. Thanks for posting. What is it about mountains, though, that causes these kinds of 'enlightened' insights and experiences? Maybe it's the lack of oxygen. When I was at camp as a 10 year old in the Swiss Alps in Leysin I had my first witnessing experiences. Of course, not knowing about these kinds of things they freaked me out at the time - I was just a young kid. I guess heights, vistas and strenuous walking up hills might be the answer - forget all this meditation stuff! >
