In this very personal video, he reveals how and why his years in prison (as a drug dealer) facilitated his achieving a temporary state of enlightenment. He acknowledges that, in his case, the suffering seemed necessary for him to have achieved a breakthrough. Given the positive changes he experienced, he maintains that, if he had the option of doing it all over again, he would do so.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness exploration.
