Sharing the Authentic Experience of Non-self, Inner and Global Harmony

Fem 11, 2026: https://www.ancientpath.org/ Imagine a world where ancient wisdom holds the key to modern peace. What if the very scriptures that seem to divide us actually contain a unified blueprint for global harmony? At ancientpath.org, we're bringing together diverse faiths to unearth these forgotten commonalities and forge a path towards a truly unified world. This video features a discussion among Alex, Stephanie, and Tiffany about their personal experiences with meditation and its impact on their lives. Here are the key takeaways from their discussion: Stephanie's Profound Experience and Subsequent Challenge (3:24-6:28): Stephanie shares her meditation journey, beginning in 2013, and describes a two-week period in 2016 or 2017 when she experienced an altered state of consciousness, feeling less solid and more connected to everything. This blissful and peaceful state motivated her to continue meditating (7:05-7:20). However, a traumatic event in 2022 led her to believe that her deep meditation practice might have made her too accepting of negative situations, causing her to lose that profound state (8:41-9:12, 50:27-51:11). Tiffany's Journey into Mindfulness (13:05-17:02): Tiffany recounts how she started with "superficial" meditation before discovering mindfulness meditation a year and a half ago. Her first deep meditation felt expansive, like she was "expanding beyond her body" (15:07-15:15). She also experienced a sense of joy, love, and peace from within (15:51-16:07) and a surreal feeling of being "somewhere else" during meditation sessions (16:31-16:49). These experiences changed her perspective on the world, making stressful situations less bothersome (16:54-17:09). Alex's Transformation Through Meditation (23:07-33:17): Alex, initially seeking self-improvement to manage his short temper, found direction and guidance through audiobooks on Buddhism and meditation, beginning in early 2023. He describes a recent profound experience during meditation where he "ceased to exist in a physical form" and became "pure awareness in a void" (30:52-31:50). This experience has shifted his daily perception, making things clearer and enhancing his senses, as if he's "looking out through windows" (32:37-33:17). The Shared Understanding of "Emptiness" (33:40-35:36): The speaker links Alex's experience of a "void" or "emptiness" to the concept of infinite experience without time or space, emphasizing that, once experienced, it remains with the individual. Meditation's Lasting Positive Impact (41:12-46:27): Alex and Tiffany discuss how their meditation practices have led to increased gratitude and compassion, and to letting go of worries, enabling them to live more in the present moment. Understanding the Self and Freedom from Rituals (53:11-55:25): The speaker delves into the Buddhist concept of "fetters," explaining that profound meditation experiences can eradicate the first three: self-identity (ego), doubt, and reliance on rituals or external sources for spiritual fulfillment.
