“What all men are really after is some form, or perhaps only some formula, of peace.” -Joseph Conrad (Author of Heart of Darkness)
Much of drug experience is a search for more meaning or more peace. This falls into something much larger though… the magic bullet solution.
People tend to want their lives fixed by magic. Some sort of instant fix, whether it involves a pill, a procedure, or whatever else it might be.

If you have been following these exercises from A Course in Miracles… then you know from experience that our perception is more of an ‘internal’ process than and ‘external’ one.
If you haven’t yet started to follow this series of posts… you can start at A Course in Miracles: Day 1
Today we journey another step further…
As you move about the world, thinking whatever thought you are thinking, do you ever notice the tendency of your perception to bend the ‘facts’ as you are perceiving them?
In a way, much of the world we see is optical illusion…

I’ve mentioned the power of brainwave entrainment in the past… but until now, I have not done a review of a specific vendor or their product.
I spoke about the Binaural Beats method in Fast Meditation Results – Brainwave Entrainment…
where different frequencies are played in each ear and the brain creates the ‘ghost frequency’…
Brainwave Entrainment is an incredibly powerful way to get fast results in any of the wide varieties of meditation that are commonly practiced.
But where can you go to get high-quality, (yet inexpensive) Binaural Beats Downloads?
