Meditation
Like many others who have searched for spiritual truth I’ve spent thousands of hours accessing deeply altered states of consciousness by using various forms of meditation.
Whilst in these altered states I’ve experienced realms of consciousness that lie outside our normal range of comprehension. Realms often described as that of the Higher-Self.
It is from these realms of consciousness that we find the true meaning of life, why we’re here, what we’re supposed to be doing, in fact our real purpose for being in these physical bodies!
All any teacher of meditation or spiritual growth can do is teach you techniques that will help you make contact with the real teacher. The real teacher is your Higher Self and it’s within your reach; right where you are now!
I once had a friend who went to India to find herself. After several months in an ashram sitting at the feet of her Guru she returned with the same self she went with in the first place. Nothing had changed; she was still plagued with emotional reactions and had resorted to drugs to get a better feeling than the one she was presently experiencing.
My number one rule is: “if what you’re doing isn’t producing the results you want, change what you’re doing” and that applies to everything in our lives.
