When I was about 7, I was sitting alone, thinking to myself, “I am here now in this place, but where is here or there, or anywhere?” Suddenly, I was transported into a world where there was no time or space, just a powerful, tangible, all-encompassing spiritual presence. The experience lasted only minutes or seconds, but it left me with a profound certainty that there was more to life than this physical plane of existence—a vast, totally different reality.

Come join me on a journey through the STEs that have transformed my life. From my childhood experience of a world without boundaries or forms, to my mother’s visitation after her death, to the charismatic rabbi that opened my heart, and the swami that opened my inner vision. Together we will travel my voyage into a world of ever-greater light.
