The whole path
You don't need the high
You don't need the high.
What Scott says
The problem with the positive peak experience is that there's no depth to it. Like, if I have a peak experience, it's like this energy. It feels very good. And then it kind of brings you up into this high-frequency, very positive feeling.
And that's the trick. It's not really that helpful. You know, as you go up, you want to go down and then wait there. That's what I started to do.
Anytime I would have a peak experience, I would just be like, okay, I looked around for 20 minutes. Everything's like super pretty colored and makes me laugh and blissful. I'm like, okay, let's go back and meditate on my abdomen. It's not it.
This isn't it. Which is ridiculous. at one point, that's all you ever wanted. You never wanted to go.
At another point, you're like, no, you're not going to trick me this time. The higher I go up on that, the harder it's going to hurt when it disappears.
