RE: Living With Consciousness: Is Personal Growth Necessarily Scary?
Great topic and well communicated. Now obviously there is no right and wrong ways to enlightenment. I don't know if you have to try and experience suffering for self realization. I think the more aware we become of human suffering the easier it is to become detached from the physical world which may assist in enlightenment. That's just my two cents on the topic. I am no spiritual guru :)
I'm no spiritual guru either... but I have "rattled the cages" of a few of them by "daring" to question some of their closely held beliefs. My intuition tells me that suffering is just one of many ways to experience personal development and move towards self-realization.
Totally agree. I don't think it's the only way. I think if a spiritual guru is too attached to his/her own views then s/he is in desperate need of self reflection. Good on you for challenging them :)
Yeah, and in spite of their "altruistic intent" they are also attached to selling their $199 CD learning set; not that I begrudge them that (we all have to EAT, after all), as long as they are honest about what they are offering and providing. Which is often where things get a little sketchy.
Heheheee - "Users who bought $199 CD learning set also bought a ticket to book their place in heaven for only $19.99"
:D
