That is epic, thank you. I laughed a lot through the first half, as I've never been one to meditate like many others. I identified with the thoughts he was having. I found for myself that I meditate when I am in an act of doing, or in stressful/dangerous situations.
The only difference I saw in my interpretation from his was I didn't lose my sense of identity, it felt more like an connection with everything else. There was a joy attached to it as well for myself. Guessing the difference is based on the experiences/lenses we all drag with us wherever we go.
It's sort of a sliding-scale in some ways but not always a case of "this" cannot be "that" simultaneously.
