I've never had any contact with it other than with the master Charan Singh. He sent me a very kind letter in response to some questions I had. He passed on a short time later.
I've never taken initiation or even had contact with the modern community. I just placed the idea of what needed to be done in my minds eye and lived my life according to what I could FEEL.
Any idiot can think. 
The road to realization is paved with the ability to feel.
But first, you must convince the mind that it is a servant rather than a master.
Its not just going to lay down and say "do me". But once you can present enough evidence and argument to back it up, you can convince this 800lb gorilla to stand aside and sit in the co-pilot's seat.
It will listen to reason when describing higher realms, but it will always be in pain in knowing it can never experience it, itself.
Hell, you see, is anything the mind can't figure out.

I just saw this today Zee. I am sorry.
I agree a lot with what you say. I have also stopped reading these types of books. The ones that haven’t "felt this thing" just talk a list of facts. Ones that have felt it say the same thing you have experienced, you almost know what they are going to say before they say it.
For example CB Lewis and that Joe Camble guy. Nice fellows describing something I believe they never saw. Opinionated and polite for sure but have not seen this “color” that most of us are blind too and can not be thought. A true guider can point the way if you have the key of willingness to drop what you think you know, what ever that is.
They are scholars not profits. "Profit" here not meaning seeing into the future but rather seeing the now. For example, Elkhart Tolle’s book, he has seen it. "Conversations with God" is scholarly, but he has good advice. His conversations were with himself, in my humble opinion.
I mite start reading again just to help me with wording. Also it is arrogant for me to assume authority, witch I have yet seen anybody with, especially here, especially me.
