I need suggestions from fellow Eckists out there. I am WAY behind in my discourse study. My membership expired yesterday and I have one whole year of discourses that haven't been studied nor spiritual exercises done. I noted that one can take up to 5 years for a rest period. I'm thinking of not renewing my membership this year, getting caught up, and renewing next year. Any thoughts?

Are you not having results?  The keys to confirming existence independent of the body are attitude and concentration.  Two words.  Not so easy to define.  Sounds like we should know them.  Can it be that easy?  What does it mean to concentrate?
