Our collective consensus reality is a bewitching spell. It is an illusory shared ‘reality’ that both fascinates and beguiles.

People rarely seek out those experiences that will actively challenge their perceptions and thus create flexibility of thought. Yet the fixed idea is the enemy of free-thinking.

Spiritual practice does not require us to be skinny and ascetic; nor need it be mystical or hysterical. In fact, it is more often humorous and straight-forward.

Many western cultures put great store by the collection of information like greedy children. Yet we can be intellectual giants whilst at the same time being spiritual infants.

Too many of our social events, devices, interactions, etc, coerce us into placing our attention upon exterior gratifications; often at the expense of our inner condition. Many of us go through life as automatons, barely touching the epidermis of wakefulness.

Life offers the entire stimulus we need; there is no need for us to seek out more. Likewise, it is not necessary that we retreat to a cave in order to escape this sensory overload. Any true spiritual endeavour has to be in harmony with one’s life.
