Coffee and Wine

I like both, coffee and wine, and always have. Still, like many fellow spiritual path travelers as well, I received my little nudges to cut the consumption back to a minimum. Why, you may ask. Well, as Chogyam  Trungpa puts  it so nicely in 'Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism': you need "inspiration to dance with life, to communicate with the energies of the world". To feel this natural connection you have to avoid artificial stimulus as much as you can. Trust that life will provide you with sufficient stimulants along the way.
