How're you

doing, folks?

I thought that my first post in the forum would be a testimonial about the effectiveness of the

pheromones I bought, but this seems to be a more pressing issue for me.

I've fallen into spiritual stagnation.

I've been meditating for nine months now, following the meditative practice outlined by Wayne Dyer in "Manifesting

Your Destiny" and, while I have seen results, I'm not getting what I want from meditating, which is to be able to

connect to a higher force consistently.

I've experienced such a connection once, and it was wonderful, but I

haven't been able to repeat it.

Basically I want to be able to leave this world and enter a new and different

realm of consciousness and awareness.

I've tried the Silva UltraMind technique, guided meditation (too

distracting), trance CD's (ineffective) and I looked into Transcendental Meditation but decided against it due to

the huge fee.

Can anyone suggest some good resources to help me? With so much crap and so many false gurus, I

don't know where to turn.

I'm reading The Relaxation Response and The Meditative Mind. Maybe I should finish

them first. I'm thinking about buying some books by Carl Jung. I don't know...

Thanks,
