Having failed to get beyond the "thousand points of discomfort" described in the previous photo, I contemplated my next move. Union with the aforementioned points had the unwanted effect of cleansing my mind of much of what I read in "The Sacred Paths to Oneness." That delayed my realization that not all was lost. A period of rest allowed my Earthly memory to return, at which point I felt better knowing that the abundance of Moabian sandstone here would allow additional chances to seek Enlightenment.

I continued my hike among the fins with a renewed enthusiasm and sense of dedication. Although I did not attempt to achieve The Higher Plane after this event, I took satisfaction in knowing that other opportunities to do so would present themselves. Amen.
