What Walt Whitman Taught Me About Enlightenment
My introduction to spirituality came in the summer of 1968 after I read Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi and started meditating. By the time I returned to college in September, my world had turned upside down. My previous values and ambitions had vanished and I was looking for a new, more spiritually meaningful lifestyle. The problem was, Yogananda's teachings didn't really resonate with me on a deep level, so I felt a bit like a ship without a rudder.

Brainwave Entrainment: Personal Experiences
I've been experimenting with brainwave entrainment (bwe for short) off and on since 2006. For about a year I followed the Holosync program regularly and then I moved on to a self-guided program called Neuroprogrammer. The purpose of this article is not to argue the merits or demerits of any brainwave entrainment program, but to hopefully shed some light on what happens during a bwe session.

Skepticism about Near Death Experiences: It's All in the Minds of the Sceptics
Well over a decade ago, I started writing my first novel. My intention was not to publish it. It was just my way of exploring consciousness and having fun while doing so. At the time, I was just coming out of a decade’s worth of scepticism. The novel, Soul Surfer, was an attempt to reconcile my opposing belief systems. After having immersed myself in yoga, meditation and mysticism throughout my twenties, by the time I reached my thirties, I had become somewhat disenchanted. For the next decade, I devoted myself to my family and my work and put all that “nonsense” behind me.
