The Essence of Non-Dogmatic Meditation
Discover How to Playfully Navigate the World of Spirituality
"There's only one right way to go. It's the one that actually works for you at this moment. The potentially confusing thing is that this path can actually look and feel different every day."
From "On How To Become Your Own Guru"
"The only master who truly stays with us all of our lives is our inner one, our closest friend. We may also call it our intuition, our Higher Self, our connection to the Divine or our ancestral spirits. Which form this inner guru takes in our experience is largely dependent on the spiritual philosophy we follow and believe in. This inner guru alone is not dependent on ego and may not be dazzled by power or reverence. Sometimes he or she meets us through a physical being for a time - or maybe even, as many traditions affirm - for a lifetime relationship. Even then, let's not confuse this being with our actual guide and get attached to that person, just because they offer us a mirror and help us along a bit."
From "On How To Become Your Own Guru"
"If we believe in dogma of any kind, be it scientific or religious, it is very difficult to admit results of our enquiries that do not correspond to our expectations. To walk on the path of spiritual development, or just to truly reap the benefits of meditation in our everyday lives, we must all be scientists, philosophers, priests and eventually mystics of our own inner path, all in one. But, mostly, we have to be scientists who are willing to look at our own inner workings with true attention, interest, love and respect, withholding judgement and prejudice until we truly can see what’s going on. A person who meditates, looks for her- or himself at what is there. And tries to express it in their own words and concepts. Therefore, the mystics of all time were actually scientists of the mind."
