In the Vietnam War a mortar landed nearby that blew Bart into a clear and brilliant blackness.
When he returned in 1968 he experimented with LSD, read everything he could find that might offer clues to what had happened to him, studied meditation and attended workshops.

- Being embraced by a sudden blackness was a complete relief from a hellish situation
- At a certain point of life your head begins to harden and you are no longer flexible to new ideas
- Waking up is the beginning of a journey, your journey
“Enlightenment doesn’t protect you from things, it doesn’t protect you from anything.”
