Meditation Journal Entries (Chronological)

Ragged meditation Journal opened up showing a handwritten entry for 5 May 2025. Illegible. Dreamy setting on top of mountain peak with dramatic clouds in background.

Over the years I kept meditation journal entries about my meditation experiences because I noticed early on that there were some very odd experiences. I’ll try to put the entries in the order below.

In October of 1995 or 1996, I learned anapanasati and vipassana meditation from my wife’s father, a Buddhist Thai who lived in Illinois. He followed a very Buddhist dogma (of course), and I later decided to drop all Buddhism and just look at it as a physical/mental process, not a religious one.

The most extraordinary experiences I’ve ever had in my life were Jhana and Abhinna. Of these, Abhinna was by far the most impactful. See more about Abhinna on these pages.
