Brick by Brick
As we continue the journey of seeing our stories, and seeing ‘what is’ more clearly, there are predictable byways that we may encounter. Though it can feel like a detour, the experience can actually be another way to see aspects of ourselves more clearly.
Impatience, unrealistic expectations, using spirituality as another way to shore up our egos, groundlessness, boredom, intensity – any or all of these might arrive to take their turn at distracting us or discouraging us. How can we use them as fuel rather that being sidetracked by them?
This section looks at some of the particular challenges that come up as we follow a spiritual path.
Impatience
Groundlessness
Narcissism
Boredom
Flatness
Intensity
Spiritual Materialism
“The path described here does not promise quick results. It does not rest on fictions, beliefs or peak experiences. It consists of taking apart, brick by brick, the wall that prevents us from knowing what we are. To dismantle that wall is the work of a lifetime.”
Ken McLeod, Wake Up to Your Life
