Part of me got jealous because I discovered a secret and don't want the whole world to know. How selfish is that. Small part of me but I felt it.

Yes, I'm very familiar with Jon Kabat-Zinn's work. I've read & re-read several of his books over the years. I attended a weekend mindfulness training program probably 20 years ago or so. I have a playlist, on my YouTube channel, of videos of some of his talks. Although I am presently more under the influence of the Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön, Jon Kabat-Zinn has had a major influence on my thinking with regard to the concepts of mindfulness & meditation.
