My goal isn't to produce "another me," but to have the student become the clearest and broadest self that he can be. What I came up against was a tremendous wall of beliefs, a wall that quite effectively put his mind squarely in defense against everything I was trying to communicate.
"Have you ever seen spirits?" "Have you ever astral projected?" "Do you ever see demons?" "What can you do when you have tremendous fear of what life will bring next? "Do you see ghosts?" "Can you talk to ghosts?" "What is this feeling in the pit of my stomach?"
On and on and on. I finally had to realize something. My basis is faith, but I try to avoid belief at any cost. The only way that can work is if you clean out all the belief...what is left is faith. Just as a doctor must clean out all the damaged and diseased tissue before allowing a wound to heal, the spirit must be cleaned out and made ready for faith.
I ended up recommending a tool from my past, "A Course in Miracles." It's lovely to have the books in hand, with the commentaries and but the lovely ACIM folks have made it possible to do the whole thing online, for free. ACIM is one of the finer tools there is for honing yourself, making it possible to hone your faith, your craft, your practice. You can't lay a building foundation until you've cleared the ground. i recommend ACIM wholeheartedly.
My only caveat, and this applies to everything, including what I teach, is this. It's all tools. You don't use a hammer to build a house and then step back and say, "Look what that hammer did!" You see what you were able to accomplish because you had a hammer, saw, nails, level, all the tools that were necessary to build that house, along with the vision of a house that you started with.
If you want to become a tool that the planet can use to ease and further its transformation, acquaint yourself with ACIM.
