In college I was introduced by some friends to marijuana. One night we were sitting in a dorm room, and I smoked hash for the first time. And I suddenly felt like I zoomed up out of this reality like an airplane flying straight up out of the clouds.

I found myself somewhere that was all light. In every direction, all I could see was light. I could feel that there were people around me, but I couldn’t see them. What I felt was intense bliss. A feeling never to be forgotten!

After a while, I came back to my physical body, and I found that I now knew four things. And to this day, they’re the only things that I feel I know for sure.

Everyone is immortal. No one ever dies permanently.

This world is not our home, but there is a place that is our home.

Everyone makes it home eventually.

Everyone is in bliss all the time, though we’re not aware of it.
