“When I was working at Omega, I took this Zen retreat, where you're quiet, you don't say anything for a week, and this guy there said, "You're going to be enlightened at the end of this week, that's my goal."

So at the end of it, I did understand what enlightenment was, one-hundred percent.” SaidEndsGuyFeltGoalWeekQuietHappeningsEnlightenmentPercentHundredEnlightenedEngineersSay AnythingRetreatThis GuyParticipating Author:Larkin Grimm
