Gimmah the evidence

[Little Rik]

It is said that when the ...........the student is ready the master appears.

The cynic in me can't help but offer these alternative phrasings:
When the student is ready, someone appears.
When the student abandons all resistance, he is ready to acknowledge almost anyone as master.
When the student is desperate enough, anyone will do for a teacher.
Looks like I'm not ready.

The problem with listening too much to the rational mind is that it become then very difficult to see where the gift is.
Albert Einstein wrote ................The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

I've explored altered states of consciousness for decades, yoga for 10+ year(it really helped my surfing!), meditate for 10+ years, binaurel recordings, fasting, and other methods. I've had some pretty 'profound' experiences, none of which I have any evidence that they are anything more than drastic changes in brain states.

I met people telling me that they do the real meditation.
One guy told me that it is necessary to look at the light of a candle with the eyes open, an other guy told me that the mantra is all but he wouldn't know the meaning, another told me that it is important to imagine himself on the top of a mountain.
Most of the yoga these days has lost the real meaning.
Who am i?
My relationship with the whole and the method of practicing.
Just like the religions that they lost the spirituality.
You can practicing yoga for even 100 years but if you don't know how the system works then you just waste your time.
