A Science Fiction book I recently read described something the author called the “supreme meme”. Paraphrasing, the supreme meme was described as the experience would you have to have in your life such that you would live your life over and not change one single detail. Even the bad/painful/stupid actions and experiences… Because if one detail was changed, the outcome might not be the same, you might miss that experience.
In my mind I replaced the word experience in the above description with the words level of consciousness…
In the past, some part of me has always thought or felt that if I had only been closer to Eric Pepin/Higher Balance/Portland that my life would have been better. That I would have reached a higher level of consciousness at this point in my life. Now I have now reached a level of completeness in my life… my own supreme meme. I have sufficiently expanded my own consciousness enough to have a level of satisfaction. I would no longer go back and change my life if I could… because the smallest change in my life up to now might not lead to this exact same spot… Eric Pepin and I might pass by each other… like two ships in the fog… never seeing each other.
One of the keys to my own progress and development has been the amount of time I have got to spend around Eric. I have been lucky enough to see Eric at three previous Higher Balance retreats and twice have had one-on-one time with Eric. I have been truly blessed. It hasn’t been a lot in terms of total number of hours, but it has been enough. I no longer wish that things had been different in my life and I had been one of Eric’s personal students. What I have had has been enough for me…
