How A Spiritual Practice Can Lead to Spiritual Awakening

"It makes no difference
what technique or method
you practice,
it is that you give yourself completely
to that practice
that matters.

It can be as simple
as watching your breath.

If you really give
your full attention
to watching your breath
then you will move
beyond yourself,
you will find freedom.

If you are willing to
let go of the idea that
you know better
and really plunge yourself
wholeheartedly into
a spiritual practice
without looking
for something in return,

then somewhere along the line
something will happen,

the floor will fall out
from beneath you
and you will disappear
into a place that has no
words, no teachings,
no attainments,

just the complete
contentment
to be silence
or to love God
or however else
it may be for you.

Blessings,

Kip"
