Finding Enlightenment

Many paths lead home; very often you have actually made much more spiritual progress than you realize and it then takes little to push you over the edge. J. Krishnamurti suggested self-reflection until at one time the mind discovers all its biases and suddenly becomes still. Mr. Tolle advises to merge with the Now, while the Course in Miracles recommends ongoing spiritual healing with your sisters and brothers moment by moment. My personal favorite is the story of a gentleman who was once asked how he was doing and he responded that he was miserable. To that his friend suggested that this was only his opinion that he was. This remark struck our friend like lightening as he suddenly discovered that he had a choice. Perhaps in the age of spiritual awakening there will be as many Taos as there are spiritual path travelers. I can't wait to hear your story!
