Questions:
1. You mentioned that the goal of the practice is to help you reach Nehast, but what then? Do you continue to seek more? The have to be many levels of Nehast that one may find or begin to explore here. What then?
2. I have been keeping up with meditation and I stopped for a couple weeks. I got back into it but during the day I find myself becoming agitated easily. It is like there is something reaching out to me or I am searching for purpose and cannot quite see it. Do you have any tips for helping to find out why/how to get past this hurdle? How can I find what I seem to be searching for?
