Lovely post Steve. To hear of your increasing contentment is indeed encouraging. I'm a relative newbie, entered the path in 2002, sarted with kriya in 2004 and baptism was in 2005. I enjoyed the blissful honeymoon of a couple of years and then the trouble began. I'm hoping you might appreciate what I mean...the restlessness, the dry periods, the where is my will periods...I've pushed through all of this and am currently in a stabilised period with good regularity but few results.
I like your comparison to A.A...another spirtual hive that emphasises effort as being a key to progress. I'm certainly not content with what I am...I'm working on it...but I have desires to be further along this demanding path of ours. Those desires clash with negative habits...but I just read in Divine Romance that if we continue to struggle we are progressing. Well, there's lots of struggle in my life at present so here's hoping...
Jai Guru
i have found that gravitating to the highest souls i can be around helps my spiritual evolution and understanding. And of course we need to learn to laugh at ourselves and Life's irony.
