Hi thanks for the speedy reply, all i could think was wow 2 years without shoes, your comments have made me really want to undergo this process now, i am doing something similiar to what you did at the moment, in that have moved away from home, dont have a tv, hardly know anyone and your right the stress is melting away but at the same time theres an intense feeling of wanting to know what its all about, not just the purpose of my life but an answer to questions like, Who Am I? and whats the meaning of life?, intuitively i feel everything has been leading me to this point and that following this process will provide me with not just an answer, but change how i view everything forever, thanks for your comments they really helped and inspired!!!!!!!!
