Meditation Journal Entry from 1998
Mind Shift. Conscious Dimension Shift.
Sitting in the reclining chair with my feet up on my desk I was mindful of breath for 15 minutes while fern showered. I settled down in about 10 minutes and started to shift to different consciousness states and patterns in my mind. At about 13 minutes I felt my whole mind shift to a different place. Not a different level, just a diff. plane, dimension, or 2nd order change in the mind’s process.
I felt as if the old mind’s ways were displaced or shifted. Then my wife called from the bathroom for a towel. Oh well right? I felt anger well up inside for being disturbed during this incredible time and then it gradually gave way when I felt her in my arms and her arms around me.
Even in that state, I was able to become attached to the idea that it would continue… but now – nothing…I feel very relaxed now, and mellow.

This was when I lived in Temple Terrace, Florida. It’s a part of Tampa. We had a lovely one-story house surrounded by huge oak trees at 307 St. Augustine Ave. It was here that I sat on the floor of our spare bedroom every night for about 20 minutes and meditated on the breath.
What happened during the first year I practiced was mindblowing to say the least!
