I have written and spoken my thoughts over many years. Now I'm on new ground and spirit. I want to bring these together. Things like karma yoga, bhakti yoga, conscious dying, conscious aging. Consciousness.
The ego is a tool. You don't separate it. It's a tool for the spirit.
The way you come to fully appreciate the infusion of the Spirit is to more and more come fully into the moment, where this moment is enough.
When humans come together with a true spirit of dealing with the mystery collaboratively, it's incredibly beautiful.
Religions are institutions that push you up the mountain and then they have their fantasies about the spirit. I mean they try to make God like the human psyche and it's wrong. I mean it's a projection of the mind, and you can use it to get a start and then you must leave it behind.
