There seems to be alot of posts about mixing things. Keep it simple. Focus on one thing and do it. That is the best way to experience what something is. It is also the best way to get good at something and make progress. If you throw two things like that together, you won't know what is doing what.
I visited centerpointe's website, and a few connected sights. The founder's background is primarily in music, along with hypnosis and neuro linguistic programing. I saw a header on one of the sights that claimed, "How to meditate deeper that a Zen Monk". Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is achieved by just listening to the tapes, and the tapes/sound effect on your brain. It might be just bad, or cheesy marketing, but I didn't get the best feeling from it. I am certainly not completely informed on it or its effectiveness. Looking at someone's background is helpful, and what they are connected to also tells you something. The whole centerpointe deal seems to connect to one person and their experience in this lifetime doing research based in technology that instantly allows one to experience transformational states of conciousness. That's pretty incredible. Spring Forest is connected to teachers and teacher's teachers, masters and master's masters....generations of work. It evolves, but stays connected to a resource of experience.
Back to my first point. Just do one thing. Make a choice and get to work. Set a point on the horizon to evaluate your experience.
