Besides, up above you say:
"I know nothing about meditation. I've just learned to put myself into a relaxed state on my own. I'm not into new age stuff (or religious stuff for that matter).
So, if you know and admit that you know NOTHING about meditation and you do not care about anything else re: new age stuff, why do you write into such a topic? And you do not care to discuss "self-help products" either... you only challenge others to convince you about what you are sceptical about. A waste of time for everybody: there is nothing worse than a sceptic: he is the one who sits on the fence because he is too coward to be on either side.
Besides, if you know nothing as you admit, why don't you do something about it?
http://www.LearningStrategies.com has a great group of masters in many subjects all to do with "self-help products". Why don't you buy some of them, the ones more resonant to you and start to do some "self-help" before you challenge others to prove that what they say is right when you don't believe in anything and know nothing? (Your words).
You want somebody to prove that there is a Creator?.... Whether you call it Energy, Life Force, Light or Intelligence or God?..... That is self-evident!!!!!!!! Or did you create yourself????.... Or by any chance do you know somebody who has created planet Earth and the entire solar system and the trillions of stars in this galaxy without counting all the other 100,000 galaxies that nobody else know?
If you do, please let us know! We would like to know and meet HIM too!
