That being said, working to stay in a state of awareness of the exchange of energy going on all around us is a kind of meditation plane of it's own.

Very true; to me, this is in essence The Work and quite possibly, The Way.

Yes, absolutely.

This doesn't imply an opinion about its merits as far as anyone else is concerned.

I can tell you that the first ebook was well worth the $ - it is 200 pages printed off - maybe if Czymra and you were interested, you could split the cost, since it is sent via email, i think, for download.

I inherently mistrust every meditation technique, doctrine, prayer, magical spell or whatever, out of a suspicion of the subtle programming or energetic heisting that may be involved.

I agree - I have no religion, and was not raised with any religion. However, through my study of the Mystics and Eastern practices of meditation, mystery school teachings and other things, one can see the common links - and within the links the doorways into the inner realms. Cymra wants to start someplace though, and it's hard to try to select something for him to explore that isn't filled with, from my experience, errors - for lack of a better word.

Therefore I have alarms going off constantly, even over such elemental constructs as archetypal images. There's a good chance that many of the techniques and processes which we believe have been designed by spiritual masters and/or light beings, are actually distractions to take a serious seeker of the knowledge of the workings of reality, into a higher plane of entrapment.

From my understanding, Griffith's work is pretty dark stuff - creates a unique ripple effect in one's emotional subtle body layer that will feel like paranoia. Whatever we resonate with, whether it's Griffiths, Wingmaker, 'whom'ever is very interesting to me, bc of the DNA frequency patterns we are uniquely born with and maybe our genetic past about who dabbled in what and what we are to transcend this lifetime.

At least James displays some of the patterns of a visionary; The Mystic is often an artist; some artists have that direct line. Which is what I envision you being - a visionary himself who must believe that and continue to produce your own body of work with little or no distractions. From this one post it is what I get - and many of the visionaries alive today will intuitively reject those things that do not ring true within them. Rebels some, and defenders of The Truth they are born with.

Those on the visionary path will no doubt read through many texts, try many methods, but ultimately, bc of their 'bigger' nature forge new ground. This is how beings and, I believe, Spirit depend on the visionary. BC as the visionaries evolve, so does Spirit expand and evolve.
