However, I love my <a href="http://www.vuvee.com/mind-machine-review-to-entrain-or-entertain/" rel="nofollow"><strong>DAVID PAL</strong> mind machine which is a brainwave entrainment device </a>that uses flashing lights and tones to alter my brainwave state. Apparently, when we meditate we are mostly in Alpha or Theta and most mind machines will help accelerate the time it takes to get to that state. I think for most people it would take 15 minutes to reach Alpha state with light goggles and sound. If you are just using a sounds only CD it may take longer to reach a deep Alpha State. Personally, if you are using sound only, I would recommend the <a href="http://www.transparentcorp.com/affiliate/clickthrough.php?aff_id=5091741&loc=http://www.transparentcorp.com/products/np/" rel="nofollow"><strong>Neuroprogrammer 3 Software </strong></a>which you can run on your computer and make your own CD's with different brainwave entrainment sounds. The risks of using a mind machine with flashing lights is the possibility of a seizure if you are photo-epileptic or if you have any heart problems. I think the sounds only CD's and software are probably OK but I am not a doctor or expert on the risks of using them. I have never used Equisync but I have tried Hemi Sync and they probably very similiar. Most of the time I do a sitting meditation in silence and find that to be very effective.

Self help books have led me to finding the answers from within when before I was looking outside myself. Spiritual books, affirmations and prayer nourish my soul and meditation is the vehicle to reach it. Tony, with all your experience with various meditation modalities. What do you think of the many commercial products out there claiming to accelerate the meditation process to higher and greater levels? Do they work? And if they do, is one better than the other? Is there any potential risk in using them? What do you think of EquiSync? Isn’t it wonderful how different everyone is and how each of us is on our own unique path to finding our individual truth.

Furthermore, how does one define the "Truth" as it can mean many things to different people. One man's "Truth" is another man's "Non-Truth". The “Truth” does not exist except in our minds.

There is one Truth out there. Find it. Pray to God to show it to you and he promised he would. Until then you will not see it, hear it, or know it. Search for Truth. There is one Truth out there.

I often wonder when enlightenment became a commodity to be sold by self-proclaimed gurus. More often than not these 'teachers' are simply ego-obsessed individuals whose narcissism somehow deludes them into thinking that they're spiritually advanced... so much so, in fact, that they have no difficulty in convincing others of their superior spiritual development. Enlightenment is an elusive little gem, isn't it? The more we try the more frustrated we become. And, truly, who has actually achieved it other than the great spiritual leaders of the past? Those that have are probably not talking about it and they are certainly not selling their wisdom to others as a method of aggrandizing their egos. I agree, let it go. Very well written and so true.

I know I am certainly tired of looking for what you speak of and even more tired of never finding it and then punishing myself for not being able to change.
