Hello Bern,

You articulate the process of the spiritual journey so well. In a nutshell,
“Once the mind is cleared of debris, the mind can be lifted to reveal the essence of the soul.”

“The library has hundreds of thousands of sources for beginners to begin the discipline of searching, so that they may one day stop searching and begin feeling what was always there.”

It is true one does have to leave all teachers and books and experience for oneself. At the start of the journey, it was transformative for me to meet teachers who embody the spiritual journey and were a living testament to what was in store for me.

Thanks for sharing your deep insights.

Love and blessings!

I look at initial stages of spirituality as the search for spirit. The search its self is the sign that one is in lack of spirit. However, at some initial turning point in one’s life, one feels what it is like to be alive and then goes searching to find it again. We are so trained to look outside the self that what it really takes is to fully digest that is which inside the self. Once the mind is cleared of debris, the mind can be lifted to reveal the essence of the soul.

I, myself, rarely pay for spiritual information since information is not owned by anyone or created by humans. The library has hundreds of thousands of sources for beginners to begin the discipline of searching, so that they may one day stop searching and begin feeling what was always there.

There is a screening of a film made on Nisargadutta maharaj. It was my luck that i met the person who made it.

Hello Christine,

Welcome!

I am glad you like the post. The accident that happened in Sedona caught the attention of many people. I especially was concerned, as you pointed out in your article, that people would be scared off from attending a sweat lodge after this event.

This was a teaching about how to respect and honor the sacred rituals of the ancient traditions, and not to make them into commercial products.

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.

Deep peace to you!

Just read this piece and wanted to let you know I appreciated it tremendously. I just wrote a post over at Brave New Traveler about the subject yesterday, http://www.bravenewtraveler.com/2009/10/13/sweat-lodge-deaths-accident-or-negligence/, but you really filled in where I left off.

Gonna add your site to my links now. Keep up the great effort!

Hello Bridget,

Welcome!

Yes, and I remember my own resistances and I give other people space to do what they have to, because I know how difficult it is to take responsibility.

I clarified my thoughts about energy work in a follow-up post. You might want to check it out.

Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts.

Deep peace to you!

There are people who prey on those seeking spiritual understanding. There are also people who go from energetic experience to energetic experience without gaining any spiritual understanding.
I get frustrated too, by this, because in doing so, they are giving over their spiritual journey to someone else. They aren’t taking responsibility for their beingness.
Having said that, energetic work can be a valuable tool for spiritual work. It’s one tool among many, reflection and engagement in the world being two more that I’ve found helpful.
