Quotes from this Video:
“Spirituality is about spirit, things unseen. It isn’t things hoped for and wished for and all sorts of religious myth-telling. That’s spiritual divergence.”
“An attentiveness to what’s true about you is the doorway into what’s true about everything else.” adyashanti.org

Those who fail to live up to the challenge of living an honest and authentic life are often the first to rally behind “selfless” causes and crusades for “the greater good.”

Who is this I who is going to have all their problems solved by spirituality? Look for that, and carefully observe what’s actually going on rather than getting caught up in thoughts. What’s true when there’s no problem to solve?

[@bhaktimaddalena-nakedlife]

Spirituality must ease from concepts, not add more.
