How is John Daley?

What a dumb ass, waste 4 years of your life sitting around, doing sod all.  Actually, come to think of it................. 

I did two 90 day, one 60 day, a couple of 30's. And a dozen 10's in meditation retreats all over the world.

 

Truthfully? Unless you are naturally gifted as a meditator, it's diminishing returns, just as it would be if you were a bog standard average player who keeps going back to tennis camp.

 

I like where I've gotten to, I don't expect to move the dial much more pre-death without a serious time commitment that I would not make.

 

Anyone who puts in 2 years+ is in the ballpark of a famous in the west meditation teacher. It would be like having a BA in meditation.

 

And then also have the ability to really compel people AND be an effective teacher. That's about .0002% of all meditators.

 

Prob 50 of them on earth. I've been with 3 who really, really had it.
