" This makes me wonder if one only finds what one wishes to find and therefore the result arises from the subject's own wishes and desires rather than some other alternate state of being or reality."
Most do not reach it. And that is a ' nasty ' experience ... to try and meet the block. The process is often nasty. Yet, you may not be far from your conclusion about those who actually experience it ... that, it fulfills one's own wishes and desires. Some traditions term ' IT ' as the wish fulfilling tree. In a way, what good is the ' thing ' if it does not fulfills my deepest desire ! That it does lends, in part, ITS value to us.
