Howdy Sirgerry!
Pretty much what Jared said...
If you have experienced it in such a way that you
have retained the incident, then it is no longer
a matter of attempting to achieve something.
It is a matter of KNOWING because you have
experienced it for yourself.
Once you know, it's a matter of "what are the
implications?" and "where do I go from here?"
