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.
