SPIRITUAL REALISM |
|
SPIRITUAL REALIST AWARENESS STATES:
Spiritual Realism is easier to understand than most other approaches to the burning spiritual issues of our time. This is not because Spiritual Realism is watered down or popularizing but because it is concentrated and essentializing. Most important of all Spiritual Realism is not grounded in an ideology, psychology, or belief system as such, but in a radical way of self awareness and being in the world with others.

What is spiritual realism? And who is it for?
Paradoxical as the
term spiritual realism may seem to some, it carries deep original
meaning and progressive revolutionary purpose. |
As the New Spirituality continues to permeate "mainstream" culture, the basic spiritual knowledge itself becomes quite automatically distorted by materialism and magical-thinking. This problem so much with us now, will continue on into the future as more people discover the New Spirituality for the first time. Even people who have been on the "Path" for years must guard against that all too human tendency to make spirituality fit into personally conditioned 'likes; and 'dislikes'. There is no knowledge easier to distort and misappropriate than Spiritual Knowledge.... |

Self-Awareness and the Mirror of Consciousness:
We experience our very
consciousness itself as a problem. Everything we perceive
in ourselves and out
there in our life, is "problematized" and filled with
unanswered questions. We believe that
deep inside, we ourselves are an unanswered question.
We are unable to establish the right relationship with "them". There is
isolation and alienation. We try to establish a real relationship with
life. Yet the question of our existence remains. |
