I keep getting emails from Soundstrue.com, and have trashed them as though they're spam.

I won't do that now -- I'll check it out.

Thank you again, ruffburr!

I would suggest getting familiar with some of the classics, like The Tibetan Book Of The Dead:
http://www.summum.us/mummification/tbotd/

Getting to know the Tibetan Saint like Milarepa:

Articles in the Shambhala Sun like this one on the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel:

Good luck with your journey.

In Hesse’s novel, experience, the totality of conscious events of a human life, is shown as the best way to approach understanding of reality and attain enlightenment – Hesse’s crafting of Siddhartha’s journey shows that understanding is attained not through intellectual methods, nor through immersing oneself in the carnal pleasures of the world and the accompanying pain of samsara; however, it is the completeness of these experiences that allow Siddhartha to attain understanding.-Wikipedia
