After about five minutes, a tall, calm young man walked in, accompanied by Laura and another man, this young man looked ordinary, but his facial features gave people a very warm and harmonious feeling, and he had a unique temperament like extraordinary charm, especially his eyes were extremely bright, and even his walking posture and pace were with an indescribable, eye-catching and extraordinary demeanor.

You may not be able to remember his appearance in the future, but that unique and extraordinary temperament will never be forgotten.

As the young man appeared, Needham heard a few people in their seats letting out low exclamations, apparently knowing his identity. He also noticed that the young man's chest was painted with seven golden rings, ranging from large to small, presumably as a symbol of status within the sect. Laura and the other man whispered to the young man very respectfully, and pointed to Needham and the other girl, presumably to make an introduction.

"Good morning, my friends. I have to say that you are very fortunate that Bishop Darryl will be chairing the discussion for you today. Laura stepped forward slightly, smiled and introduced the group, and sat down.

Almost immediately, those who recognized Bishop Darryl raised their hands and applauded enthusiastically, their slaps almost red, and their faces showed excitement, and their actions had apparently inspired others to welcome them.

These people can't be arranged within the sect, right? Is this Bishop Darryl too young? Needham himself was not a particularly gullible person, and he felt that today's arrangement seemed to be a bit deliberate, and he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

However, the situation at the scene did not give him a chance to think about it, and the tall young man sat down with a smile: "Good morning." My friends, I'm Darryl. Perhaps a few of you have already met me, and some of you have attended seminars organized by members of other denominations. Actually, I'd love to have a little more time to talk to people, but my energy is limited. I beg your forgiveness for that. ”

His voice is distinctive, magnetic, and rhythmic, making it easy to be drawn to what is being said, and Needham is no exception.

"Well, it's going to take a few minutes. Let's introduce ourselves. The young man known as Bishop Darryl gestured.

There were a total of 11 people present, and they all got up to introduce themselves, and then each told about their own troubles.

Next, Bishop Darryl told the crowd to close their eyes. Concentrate and take some time to "release" the pain in your body.

"Don't choose to think about things that make you feel too stressed, focus your mind on our brains, let go of the constraints and relax ourselves." He suggested.

Everyone did so, and Needham did as he said with his eyes closed, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't release anything. About five minutes passed. He was ready to give up.

What a foolish act! How could it be possible to release something.

Needham thought with a bit of self-deprecation, his eyeballs stirring a few times under the closed eyelids, bringing out clear marks. I'm ready to open my eyes.

"Don't open your eyes!" Darryl spoke suddenly, as if he could sense someone giving up. His miraculous words could not help but startle Needham's heart, and once again dispelled the idea of opening his eyes.

"I know that most of my friends are people who have not experienced enlightenment, and it is normal to have doubts about this. But in the next ten minutes, I hope you can put aside those doubts for a moment. Let go of your guard and relax your body and mind. Break the confines of your mind and put all your energy into your mind. Slowly, slowly, slowly......"

With Darryl's guidance, Needham slowly relaxed, not knowing how many minutes had passed.

Suddenly!

He felt a strange ripple softly appear in his mind, I don't know when, I don't know how it appeared, the ripple is like the waves of the sea, but there is no sense of strangeness, but it seems to return to his mother's embrace, quiet, peaceful, gentle and full of tenderness...... The feeling is so clear that you can't help but bring your whole mind together.

Immediately afterwards, it was as if the tiredness, depression and pain in the body were expelled from the body little by little with the sweep of the ripples. It's a completely mystical experience, and I can't describe what it's like for ripples to vibrate in my head, but it's so real that it feels like it's washed from the inside out, and I just want to devote myself to it......

This very enjoyable process was unusually short, and before Needham could even perceive and discern it, the ripples disappeared without warning, as they had appeared.

"Okay, you can slowly open your eyes." Bishop Darryl's voice rang out again.

Needham held back the excitement and surprise in his heart, opened his eyes, and saw a completely different world from a moment ago, as if the fog that had been hidden in front of him since birth had been dispelled, and everything appeared to be brilliant and bright, full of the rhythm of life, which made people marvel. There were other people's expressions of emotion, consternation, joy, and joy on their faces, and even the lines were so clear that they were all displayed in front of their eyes.

"Oh my God! It's amazing! Mandy, who was just as new to Needham, was shocked, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

"This feeling is so ......" a young woman covered her mouth with excitement, tears sliding down from her eyes, and she was so moved that she couldn't control herself.

"Is this true? I'm not dreaming! The big fat man Harris sat in his seat in a daze, as if he was still intoxicated by the mysterious experience just now, and did not want to wake up for a long time.

Seriously, Needham can fully understand the almost uncontrollable reactions of these people, even if he has always been calm, he is also full of indescribable emotion for that wonderful experience, which seems to be a rhythm of a higher level of life, creating a more vivid and flexible vitality, which is unforgettable after contact.

"Alright, that's all for today's discussion. If you'd like to learn more about the Enlightenment, or take part in an experiential activity, you can reach out to Priest Laura and Priest Scott, or feel free to find another counselor. Sorry, I had to leave first. Bishop Darryl smiled and stood up, nodding slightly to the group.

Several people who were particularly emotional, including the girl Mandy, were a little reluctant to hug Bishop Darryl and keep saying words of thanks, so that he had to spend some more time comforting him before leaving.

Needham sat stunned as he noticed that Bishop Darion was saying that the discussion was over, that is, that an hour had passed? Excluding the self-introduction and discussion at the beginning, there is less than ten minutes of perception time before and after, and there are at least nearly 40 minutes left.

In other words, in Needham's own senses, the experience from the appearance of the ripples to the disappearance of just a moment actually exceeded half an hour! He raised his hand unconsciously, and the hands on the dial told him unmistakably that it had indeed been more than an hour, if not a few more minutes, since he had entered the discussion room.
