Minding the Intellect

"Man has become addicted to the drug named "intellect" and under its influence compulsively analyzes everything, cogitating, speculating and making all simple things complicated. This addiction can only be gotten rid of by unconventional surrender to the process of pure receptivity."
Ramesh S. Balsekar

I had a strange realization when I started work on my book trying to describe our Awakening journey. My mind wanted to write it, yet the Awakening process is all about breaking free from our intellect so I was caught in a Catch 22. The solution to the problem was easy in the end. I dumped all deadlines on the project and let the creative process take over just as I had done in my prior two books. I also zoomed into the experience of several of my fellow travelers and addressed some of the issues my clients are grabbing with. Where love reigns, the mind naturally has to take a step back.
