Everywhere in society, in the mundane activities of keeping our homes, we can participate in the great teaching, and not set up a situation where we think it would be ideal if we could be in a monastery or some sort of retreat, where we could focus entirely. That would be dualistic. What we call the relative and the ultimate are never separated, so that in the midst of the struggle of our relativity we have full access to the ultimate joy. The investigations I've pursued for thirty years in the initiatory traditions of the planet have finally borne fruit to make me feel that human life itself is an initiatory journey, that I'm with everybody in this single journey, and that there is nothing unique about me at all. The best time I can have is with friends, like this, exploring these issues in a real way.
Spiritual evolution is definitely a communal effort.
