The true purpose of life is to achieve union with our fundamental enlightened nature.
In order to do this we have to become spiritual and to begin a spiritual path. Before everyone runs away please understand that spirituality, in truth, has nothing to do with religion.
Spirituality is about experience and religion is about the organisation of that experience.
Despite creating a society that celebrates materialism to the highest degree, we have alternatives open to us if we would only reach out.
All traditions have spiritual teachings and in many cities there are groups who meet to practice these systems that we can check out.
But try not to start one path only to hop to another. This is quite like leaving your elephant at home and tracking his footprints in the forest.
Knowing just one path you will accomplish or at the very least have an understanding of them all.
When we start wanting to run away, be deceptive, tell lies, or put on a mask, we need to walk right into our fears, sit down and talk to them until they become our friends.
This process is accepted as part of the unfolding journey.
Follow the path that inspires you most as you will follow this to its conclusion – freedom from suffering.
