It’s another new venerable tonight. They all have their own way of conducting the class, but there is usually an introduction, then guided meditation, and silent meditation, followed by either questions or a lecture. We seem to have a small group of regulars now. Perhaps 10 people come weekly, with an additional 5 to 10 floaters and new attendees.
This time, as I finally got into a deeper meditation, I saw a flash of light. Uhgg, there goes the leader taking pictures again. But it wasn’t. Finally, I had experienced a brief flash of light, like the first time, but not nearly as joyous or as long. Still, I was grateful for the moment, since this implied I had achieved a deeper than usual meditative state and it had been a long time since my first experience.
