Hi folks!
I have noticed that many people doing some sort of meditation or who are using the xphirience sounds are more successful in doing so than they are aware of.
The thing is that we always tend to be looking to get over the next hill to find the oasis and forget to enjoy the way there.
People have asked me for advice and said things like: “It’s not working for me. I keep feeling this energy running through my body and there is a strange feeling on the top of my head. It feels like something is moving in my head, but it’s not working for me. I’m not experiencing what I read in the reports on your website”. We must keep in mind that there are as many ways to experience things as there are people on this planet. Everyone is unique. Everyone has their own story, memories, background, experiences etc.
We tend to have concepts about what a spiritual experience is and we tend to screen out everything that doesn’t fit exactly in to that framework. If something outside that framework happens we tend to almost ignore and forget about it. The thing that makes me a little sad sometimes here is that some people actually feel bad because they try so hard and are not getting what they expected, when in fact they are successful but are just not seeing it.
The users of the Bliss coded sounds are often spiritual seekers of some kind and are hungry to experience something of a spiritual nature. But we tend to read too many books and texts about this subject. We “know” so much about meditation techniques, yoga paths, guru’s, enlightenment, samadhi states, brainwaves, astral projection, new age, deeksha, reiki etc etc etc that we forget that we do not truly know anything that we have not experienced personally. Why do we read so much about something that must be experienced to be understood? Because the mind is there for one reason: To keep us looking, analysing and thinking. We need the mind, but it has too much control over most people, including me. the mind can never attain what it thinks it can. That is why we search and search.
Maybe you have heard wise people say “You can not get enlightened because there is noone to get enlightened”. What are they talking about??
Well, to understand that you simple have to ask yourself: Who am I?. If that is hard, try “Who am I not?”. I am not my name, job, body, thoughts, emotions…. I am not my mind. Why would I say MY mind if I am the mind? So who is searching for this enlightenment? The mind! And the mind is not you. When people say “You can not get enlightened because there is noone to get enlightened” they are referring to the “you” who is searching. The mind is searching. But the mind is a function. A tool.
When you are meditating and “something happens” the mind will immediately step in and compare your experience with what you have read in books, seen on youtube, heard on TV etc and in the same second it is lost. When this keeps happening we get frustrated and try to controll our thoughts even more to get them to stop somehow. But you can’t. Thoughts can not be stopped by thoughts. The energy we give the thoughts is what keeps them going. Try not feeding them. Get tired of them, don’t trust them, in such a way that you give them no energy and just see them come and go like the words from a person you do not trust at all. “Yea yea, I’ve heard your rambling for all these years now, and I’m tired of it!” 
. Not in an angry way though. Just in a friendly objective way. Kinda funny way to look at it, but it works for many people. Of course this is a tool to use in meditation only, or you might go insane. (just kidding there 
)
I felt there’s a need for this subject to be brought up. Most think that they are strange in some way because they have these problems. Let me tell you something: most people do not share such things with others, ever. Because they are afraid of what people might think about them. Instead they send an email to someone and ask for advice, to people like me, even if I’m not a teacher or guru in any way, but of course I do what I can and this is one way of helping. If people only knew how many people feel exactly the same kind of problems as themselves. But nobody talks about it so people go around thinking they are strange and this keeps them even more silent. Most people wouldn’t even confess if you asked them in person. Most people really are that afraid. No joke.
With this text I want people to re-evaluate what they see as successful meditation. Not a single minute of meditation is a waste. Every second give you experience in some way. You must value this. There really is no failure because without it there would be no success. And what you might think is failure must be compared to what you are expecting. If you are not expecting something special, it’s very hard to fail. There’s always something to learn.
Can you answer the question in the subject of this post?
Kind regards

p.s. sorry for spelling mistakes etc
p.s 2. Hey… someone should write a guidebook for people to read before starting any kind of meditation. About the mind, expectations and thoughts.
