Amusing and pertinent. It gives you no quarter for sure, but I think it throws the baby out with the bath water - I think you can still love these things and, above all, yourself. Robert Adam and Ramana Maharshi have become my gurus, particularly because they were non-gurus - they didn't encourage followers, but the ones that did follow were mainly offered silence and a smile as they believed no one needed fixing, need to seek, be on a path.
I think you should replace the word Hate with Love in this article, since you say this is the only path you will follow in this lifetime—which means you actually love the path itself. Also, thank you for a wonderful article that clearly articulates the key points of the path.
No sooner is the universe reduced to tepid aphorisms than are those aphorisms distorted to torture those who wish to do well, but find it impossible to do so without donning a heavy cloak of masochism. Nowhere in scriptures does it say "be an idiot and submit to predation."
That said, you are right. The spiritual path is a pain in the neck, and other regions. That's why they call it the narrow gate.
Funny, I love it for all the same reasons.
Wow! So good. 💗

This is probably one of my favorite pieces of yours and there are so many! This one hits and tickles different!
Then you Karina! It’s more personal that my other work. Perhaps that makes it more accessible and engaging?
Ah! Maybe.
Yes, it does!
Agreed!
I loved this so much. I feel exactly this. Certain phrases are exactly what I experienced. 🩷
Hi I would say the word is "conscious" instead of spiritual.
It includes the physical, spiritual, and so much more and yet doesn't let go of the seeking nor is imposed.
Saying this basedbon just listening to an audio class by Dr Dain Heer called "Choice", available on the app Access.me

Likewise, Nathalie! The wisdom of no escape.
