There's things all day long that interrupt the state of mind I wish I could always be in. Slowly they're becoming less bothersome, once in a while though...
Having gurus and being on the spiritual path is a bit like changing channels on the t.v. the movies become much more interesting. Someone tells us about another channel and it becomes even somewhat entertaining. Sometimes we even tune into altered states in our search. Those frequencies require more tuning in and changing our own views to accommodate the higher frequencies that have always been there. Having divine spirits that can relate to what I'm speaking increases the fascination and recognition of the truth behind appearances and the spirit behind this material fantasy. Seeing a new reality emerging gives us the ability to loosen up and let go of our cherished past and outworn views of reality.
