What are the easiest ways to learn to meditate?
I am very eager to learn to meditate. I don’t really have the time or money to go somewhere else to learn, so I would like to start at home. I have read books that taught basic guidelines and provided lots of insight. However, I do have a slight “lack-of-attention” problem. Can you suggest any steps to help me focus and begin meditation?

Does meditation cause split-personality?
Way back in 1993 I joined a certain meditation group purporting to teach “insight meditation”.
As a consequence of my joining that group, I have had many strange and inexplicable experiences that have left me with “persons’ and “voices’ that speak in alien languages.
All my attempts to get rid of them, through spiritual and medical means have failed.
All those who know me say I have really changed: when I tell them about these “voices’ and “persons’, they all think it is a story.
Has any of you who has been meditating experienced a change in their personalities? please tell me..do ‘voices” address you, ask for your forgiveness or mercy, sing praise and worship songs,chant om, om,om and now and then recite quranic verses?..
