Default Re: transformative experiences

Hi
I agree with both previous writers.
For myself I found being in the presence of an enlightened teacher of great benefit. The energy of the presence of one will have a profond effect on your own spiritual evoulution.

I have been fortunate enough to have had brekfast with Eckhart Toll and his partner Kim when he was In Scotland.
In America I went to a seminar " Living the Prayer " put on by Dr David Hawkins and his wife Susan. They live in Sedona. He is fully enlightened.
His book "Power vesus Force" is an eye opener. If you can go to one of his meditation days that would help you immensly..
I play his video regularly and he is my main teacher now though the Self within is really the teacher.
Eckhart had DVDs you can buy on line or u tube.
On your own it is not good to try to force progress.
However the more time you can spend reading listening to genuine enlightened ones the better. There are many claiming enlightenment but there are only about 30 truly enightened ones on the planet at the moment.
There is a big difference betwen being awake and enlightenment. The truly enlightened state is egoless there is no person left.
Hope this helps
Regards Chris
