Part 6 finishes up in Sedona, AZ, where I was getting acquainted with "Spirituality". I was a sponge with an open mind, along with the appropriate discernment, learning about topics I had never heard about (e.g. near-death experience, crystals, numerology, past-life regression, energy, vortex, vibration, etc.). Most of all it was the people I met there that had the biggest impact. They came from all walks of life with a common interest in learning more about life and beyond. 
We found a spot on a hillside where we put down our towels and prepared for a group meditation. I had only a couple of prior experiences with meditations where I had difficulty "getting out of my head", but I found them relaxing. I enjoyed the view during the open-eyed segment of the meditation, and then we were asked to close our eyes and go within. I didn't really understand what this meant other than the closing my eyes part. It was about 5 minutes into the meditation that something extraordinary happened. I felt myself falling into the earth below me, and yet I felt myself sitting on the ground. I was in a free fall but there was no fear. I was in a dual reality, and felt okay with it. 
I descended into what looked like a cavern far below the surface. I was still flying. Crazy huh? And then two incredible experiences happened that I share in this podcast. I did not speak of this for years since it sounded too whacky to share with anyone, and even finding the words was challenging. 
Following my experience I returned home and prepared for my next adventure on my Modern-Day Vision Quest. A series of synchonicities pointed the way to Africa. And off I went, open to new multi-sensory experiences that would forever change my life.
