I have thought at various times over the years that I understood
basically what life was all about, but I still always had a certain
gnawing uncertainty.
After many years of this I realized I was on the wrong path and
started changing my life around. One of the things I did was start
formal meditation. After nearly a year of daily sitting I had a
very profound experience in which I literally seemed to have "woken
up" as if I previously had been sleepwalking. Nothing has been the
same ever since. I've had teachers from two different major
disciplines confirm that this experience is genuine.
Keep looking, when you get a real answer, you'll know it.
