Zooming into God

The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.
Ramana Maharshi

I often picture the Awakening process as a spiral. We are being guided on a journey towards a higher vibration environment: a new job, new friends to hang out with, renewed passions and new purpose in life. Old themes (outgrown passions, outgrown lovers and friends, outgrown notions of scarcity, etc.) come back to us over time, but we dispose of them faster and faster; hence the image of the outward bound spiral. Like a laser we zoom into the spot where God resides at that special moment and we couldn’t care less about anyone or anything else. Moment by moment, we are zooming into God.
