I agree with you. That being in the radiance of that bright of a light, must have been unsurpassed... In the absence of that contact, I have found recently, by chance... Being introduced to someone, out here in Seattle. This person is a trained Shaman, and was able to help me rid myself of lower energies, which were in my energy field. Since that time, which was only a couple of weeks ago, my mind is so much more settled, and my experience of TM is completely different, as well as my general experience; So, it was truely a profound experience for me. Now, I do not know if Guru Dev, had access to this kind of process, but it is certainly of benefit, to anyone who has experienced depression, or any other nagging symptom, of anxiety and so forth. So, just thought I'd pass on this experience, if anyone could relate to it. >
