Lack of Sincerity

It has become chic nowadays to be 'spiritually' active, to do the 'fun mystic thing'. The 'search for our Self' - a kind of casual evolvement into a higher being - grew into a 'must' of modern society, - into a 'recreational spiritual path' that has become high fashion.

    These are the people running from guru to guru, from astrologer to astrologer, from seminar to seminar, - always looking for some mystic person to tell them time and again what fantastically advanced spiritual beings they are.

    And because they are so highly evolved, they needn't work up real sweat about their inner growth. - Why should they? - They're privileged, aren't they? Once their time has come, some higher being - probably with noble face, long, flowing garments - will single them out, touch their forehead - that famous 'third eye' - and the light will flow through them and then enlightenment has come. So they think. So they hope. That's how they picture spiritual progress. Luxurious, relaxing, easy, safe - and never too unsettling.


    And so they never get going themselves. They wait to be lifted from that big mass of people around them that certainly is not on their level. They smile at you and think: 'Why can't he see, how far advanced I am?' They forever crave compliments on their attempts alone, even if they yield little or no results.

    What these poor people don't realize is that their pride, their lack of commitment, their very idea of a 'recreational spiritual path' bars them from any progress. They don't know that all they expect, all they project is exactly what they are getting: A casual 'spiritual' stroll through nice, natural scenery - maybe accompanied by some similarly attuned souls, basking in all kinds of good vibrations, - but - nothing more.


Changed attitude:
This book describes a different path. It alerts us to prejudices and attachments that stop us from becoming the magnificent being we deeply feel within, - it makes us aware of the corresponding restrictive emotions we usually ignore. - It shows how to arrange the familiar components of our life so wisely that they lead us into a wide-open, more exciting, expansive, blissful and - above all - far vaster universe.


    Addiction to comfort and smooth environment locks our awareness into the narrow limits in which these tendencies are able to manifest.


Practical Tip:
The world doesn't survive on a good try. A pilot who crashed his plane in the attempt to land can't find excuse in telling 'but take-off and cruising was quite all right, wasn't it?'


    Go for results, not for pretence, nor self-deception, nor for applause.
