The purpose of a Spiritual Journey...
Historically, we lived in a reality where we had to 'stay
with the herd' if we wanted to survive. Recently in history
we are learning of 'Self-Actualization' and 'critical mass'
in spirituality and modern physics, where it takes less
than 10% of a population to transform the whole. This new
thought is allowing us to understand the teachings of The
Christ, The Buddha and other enlightened ones, after centuries
of interpretations designed to 'gather the herd'.
The real voyage of discovery
consists not in seeing new landscapes,
but in having new eyes.

and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive
where we started
and to know the place for the first time.

beautiful flowers from the same garden,
or they are branches of the same majestic tree.

though being received and interpreted
through human instruments equally imperfect.

Perfect love casts out fear.
If fear exists, then there is not perfect love.
But, only perfect Love exists.
If there is fear,
it produces a state that does not exist. ~ A Course in Miracles ~

Each of us is here to discover our true
Self…
that essentially we are spiritual beings
who have taken manifestation in physical form…
that we‘re not human beings that have occasional
spiritual experiences…

human experiences.

Great spirits have always encountered violent
opposition from mediocre minds.
The latter cannot understand it
when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary
prejudices
but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
~Albert Einstein
