Dwelling in the Mirror A Study of Illusions Produced by Delusive Meditation and How to Be Free from Them
Author: Abbot George Burke (Swami Nirmalananda Giri)

?The old adage is still true: All that glitters is not gold.? ?Over and over people have mistaken trivial and pathological conditions for enlightenment, written books, given seminars and gained a devoted following. I have encountered quite a few myself, including people who believed they were the Divine Mother, Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, Sai... more »nt Francis of Assisi, Archangel Michael, Lucifer and assorted famous masters of the past. One called our monastery and left lengthy narratives on our answering machine about herself because, she said, she did not want to die without anyone knowing about her experiences and attainment. Another one wrote me a note that simply said: ?I am the Goddess!?? ?I have known more than one person who believed all their dreams were revelations of truth. And I have known some that continually predicted their imminent death for decades. Others told me how enlightened they were, including the one that had whiplash from ?crashing into the divine light.? What did they all have in common? They had an experience! Not of one of them was an intentional fraud. They believed their delusions based on their experience.? ?Most of these unfortunate people were completely unreachable with reason. Yet there are those who can have an experience and realize that it really cannot be real, but a vagary of their mind. Some may not understand that on their own, but can be shown by others the truth about it. For them and those that may one day be in danger of meditation-produced delusions I have written this brief study.? The above is from the author in the book's preface. In Dwelling in the Mirror you will learn: different types of meditation and the experiences they produce, and the problems and delusions which can arise from them. how to get rid of negative initiation energies and mantras. what are authentic, positive meditation practices and their effects and aspects. an ancient, universal method of meditation which is both proven and effective. ?I am very grateful for this book, and for the clean, honest wisdom it dispenses, and I would eagerly suggest it to anyone who?s on a path of spiritual discovery. It was certainly not what I expected when I started reading, but by the time I reached the last page, I knew it was exactly what I needed to hear.?
