People who accept everything they are told for the sake of appearing 'open-minded' are in for some unpleasant surprises and some very hard knocks, to be sure. That's not what I meant by being 'open-minded'. I meant being flexible enough to investigate different ideas and methods, without getting too attached to any of them! I've had some experiences with cult-like groups and charismatic 'guru-types' myself, and I'm grateful that I still have an interest in spiritual matters at all after those experiences! The most important thing I've learned is to TRUST MYSELF. And to guard the trust I give to others MOST carefully!

If I told you about my personal 'spiritual experiences', most likely they would mean NOTHING to you - because they are specifically tailored to/designed by MY OWN PERSONAL HISTORY, EXPERIENCES and NEEDS, which are not the same as anyone elses! As yours are for you.

So it's probably wisest to say nothing at all. I should have known better - pardon me.
