Customer Reviews
Awakening is here!
The wealth of information in these podcasts is unbelievable! If you are looking for a direct route to spiritual awakening then this is it. The sheer density of information can be overwhelming and it's not intended to be pleasure cruise of 'general well-being'. But if you are willing to consider tearing out the weeds of karma and tilling the soil of your deepest spirituality then here are some tools. Oh yeah it's worth it!
This is The Guy!
I've been pursuing the mystical path for the better part of 4 decades, but it was when I heard these podcasts that I knew I had finally met the guy who could take me through the morass of this world, and bring about the breakthrough I'd been seeking. I've been sitting with Mark Griffin now for about 5 years and meditations are nothing like the last 40 years! Wow. This is what I'd been after. Like I found the carpool lane. Mark is a Westener who speaks our language - not trying to translate Eastern teaching into our way of thinking. It makes a difference. And he radiates that state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi in which he exists. You can pick it up in his words. If you know anything about energy, tune in to that as you listen.... you'll get blasted.
