"My fifth bout of severe insomnia struck last week and this is video footage from the morning after the first night of getting normal sleep. I found myself facing death once again by fasting from sleep and from food, but instead of dying, I rose from the ashes like a phoenix, reborn. I didn't know if I would fall asleep forever that night; I didn't know if I would rise to the sun forever and find myself in a waking death.
After my friends helped guide me through meditation to return to my bed and sleep with intention, I fell asleep for the first full night in a week. As I had awoken, this was my experience. This was an incredible journey, but it took nearly every last drop of vitality my body had in order to come back to this planet in a search for its original soul."
