“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." I was the engineer, so I was recording everything at it was happening, but I was also participating, because I felt like it. So at the end of it, I did understand what enlightenment was, one-hundred percent.” SaidEndsGuyFeltGoalWeekQuietHappeningsEnlightenmentPercentHundredEnlightenedEngineersSay AnythingRetreatThis GuyParticipating Author:Larkin Grimm
“Personally, I always wondered about authors and celebrities who loudly declared there was no God. It was usually when they were healthy and popular and being listened to by crowds.

If suddenly, in their last gasping moments, through fear, a vision, a late enlightenment, they change their minds about God, who would know?” IfsKnowsWorldMindMomentsHappensLastsLostVisionStageHealthyQuietLateEnlightenmentMovedCrowdsMoved OnBefore DeathQuiet Moments Author:Mitch Albom
