How did you arrive experientially at this level of understanding?

Hi Gnosis
Like you my passion has decreased, there neither attraction or aversion. If something happens and appropriate response is passion then thats what happens, if nothing of a passionate nature occurs thats ok too. You can apply that to virtually anything. Its like living life fully in the moment, no matter what.
My understanding of the moment came mainly second hand at first through the books cds, retreats etc. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle was a big break through, up till then it was all Indian Sages, very valuable.
My main source now is Dr David Hawkins.
Personal "proof" came through meditation which delivered some shattering experiences which I had not expected or looked for. One left me blissed out for two days. Never felt so loved in all my life. Just very fortunate.
We are all equal though. Put no head above your own.
