Our entire journey is spiritual. We are so seduced by the information that our senses impart to us about the world that we are unable to entertain the vastness and multi-dimensionality of Reality. We so easily become creatures of needs and desires. No matter how hard we try consumerism fails to replace true fulfillment. The stress created by a manic and unending reaching out instead of diving in is the cause of our increasingly unmanageable ills worldwide.
Life also offers daily opportunities for engaging in noble and worthy goals and aspirations.
These must be taken. Satisfying relationships, material comfort, nature, art, technology, good food life as we know it on the planet can be very beautiful and inspiring. Yet when these expressions are treated as demi-gods and become an end in themselves, we create an unimaginable trap. To not fall in at all or extricate ourselves when we do is the ultimate healing work we are here to do. Be grounded in your being and changing circumstances cannot touch you.
