Fascinating article - I'd not come across Vipassana before. It sounds both incredibly freeing and extremely intimidating! Definitely something I'm going to look into.

My biggest takeaway from your article was the concept of indifference. In the past I've tried to go from the 'normal' craving / aversion peaks and trough to the 'perfect' flat line. I now see that I didn't stand a chance of reaching that, and as imperfect humans we must aim for something in between the two.

Thank you for sharing your experience.
