I would be very interested in your chat with Dr Jill though. Any chance you'll be writing a blog entry 'bout it soon? (preeeetty please...)

I don't think I'd recommend inducing massive brain trauma as a way of having "out there" experiences. Meditation does seem to be the better choice. ;-) And, from my experience and now the experience of hundreds of Explorers, it seems the practices I call the I AM Techniques (from the <a href="http://www.advancedmeditation.com" rel="nofollow">Instant Advanced Meditation Course</a>) are some of the easier, quicker and more reliable ways to set up the conditions that lead to those types of experiences. I'm a big fan of that trusting oneself thing... except for the ways that we're untrustworthy ;-) (see <a href="http://sashen.com/blog/60/wrong-about-being-right/" rel="nofollow">Wrong About Being Right</a rel="nofollow">) Hey Aleks,

I had an experience similar to hers, not as a result of a stroke or 15 years of meditation, but quite possibly due to suffering and learning acceptance, but as you pointed out somewhere else it is not possible to have a cause and effect kind of answer to that. I think I'm with you on the anti-guru campaign, although with me it's more about the fat-cat gurus.. I respect the Work of Byron Katie, I feel moved by Eckhart Tolle, I trust myself..
