“The question then becomes, once we are aware of the pain, how do we respond to this rude invitation to walk back toward our Self? Regardless of our spiritual orientation, it begins with a process of seeking. In fact, this process of looking for a way out of the constant underlying anxiety and pain is what consumer culture is based on.”

“Our reaction to life is the greatest test of how we are really getting along. Are our preferences and aversions to what life brings us strengthening or weakening? Are our judgments fading and our tolerances growing? Are we building bridges between our daily meditation practice and our behavior at work and with our partners? Our souls cannot be mocked; the divine cannot be punked. It emanates its grace by first gently and then violently pulling the rug from under our feet.”

“So much of the spiritual industry today serves to coddle us in this phase of our journey. We can place massive Buddhas in our rooms; hang Zen scriptures or memorize the sayings of the prophets. We can compile a spiritual book collection to put any library to shame. But our ego will only feel more smug and pleased with itself. The possibility of its annihilation has been averted and the connection with the material world is fully restored.”
