Hey guys,
First, I use the words "master" and "adept" only in their classical definitions and not from another place. I reference those from about 15 years of study and reading the accounts of Mystics - maybe I should've used that word instead. And there are hundreds of descriptions to read. What they reveal and meditation type 'experts' tell us is this...that the student (or 'beginner') will not fully understand what his teacher has experienced...but the teacher will understand what the student is experiencing - And from this context only, that information is not necessarily held secret out of malice or superior power.

I don't know Sun-toon, I should start reading his threads, he is probably more advanced in his particular practices and those would be over my head :-)

But I do feel you, Czymra...your earnest thirst for knowledge and to 'be the ship.' Do you know how rare that is? And refreshing? I was only attempting, maybe not so skillfully, to point you in a direction you may not have considered. Something that to me is more in line with the Mystic's path - I say that because I see in you something that is indeed rare, and someone who could benefit greatly. And manifesting is not so in line with that particular path. Although one would learn to manifest on that path - it's just not the focus of that path.

There is so much stuff to sift through on these threads with everyone kind of offering a bit of good advice or questions. So it is no wonder to me that it can be stimulating in the least to figure out where you would like to spend your precious energy, heart and mind and focus on the next thing that would be best for your goals.

Meditation - There is a body of work by Bill Bodri - he has some e-books you might get something good out of. (Although he has some detractors who would argue with some of his theory) How to Measure and Deepen Your Spiritual Realization ("Measuring Meditation")

Also by him, maybe in line with your strong interests - The White Skeleton Meditation Practice Manual ..."Perhaps the most effective meditation technique to ever come out of India, because of its quick samadhi results and psychic abilities it typically produces, is the Dazzling White Skeleton Visualization. Learn to practice this very special Buddhist meditation technique that helps you reduce stress, eliminate attachment to your body, cultivate your chi (qi or prana) and open your chi channels, develop paranormal abilities and ultimately the first dhyana samadhi, which is the initial target of spiritual practice."

I don't earn money on any click throughs to his site - some of his work helped me. I also used to email him a long time ago when I had a question - his response always was, "Keep meditating."

So he might still be available via email if you had questions about which one to start with.

Manifesting takes a great deal of pointed focus...and some 'meditation' can help develop that.
