Vipassana a short cut to get out of the matrix

I was on the train back home in Clapham after my usual 2 weeks in Italy when having a conversation with a guy that like me was without mask at end of the last bulls@&#% lockdown ended up talking about Spirituality, so as I know and many of us knows nothing happen by accident and the fact that I mentioned him about some mystical experiences I had in the past he tells me that he had a powerful one few years earlier when doing a Vipassana retreat “now is getting more and more of whom during a Vipassana retreat experiencing something big” he tells me that in the last day of the retreat he sees his hands turning bright and then a strong light of energy exploding from it and ……… he wasn’t anymore the person he knew.

That the same thing I had but without staying with the Monks, what was the same that I was able to reach the same inner peace 10 years ago in London, this guy as many other people I met after weeks of silence and meditation recharging their inner frequency reached the tipping point where the veil was lifted and the ability to see through the illusion revealed, what is hard is to mantain that state cause we live in a world full of noise, suffering and distractions and that’s the assignments and exams but once you discover something like that you won’t go back and if you somehow able to get back to the matrix the suffering is higher cause you now know that life isn’t what we knew it was and was told to be.

The guy on the train didn’t show up by accident as all the people I met so far and the events that took place in my life have a meaning as for the people that had theirs what is hard is to mantain faith and hope if we get distracted looking outside in the outer perceived mad world.

I would love to know what that guy does now what path he took and if more breakthrough moments took place but I might not knowing it and our meeting was supposed to be in the way it was for one time.
