Song and A Passage #1

Something that's very much a part of me is sharing. Sharing things that I find moving or hold some kind of importance. So what I tend to do in any space that I am within is share readings and music.

Here's a passage that I really valued upon many within this book.

“Spiritual practice doesn't work like worldly skills, where you can pay some fee to learn a technique and then it’s yours. It’s something altogether different, as it operates on a plane beyond the ordinary, and thus has higher demands. I’ll explain. With this kind of practice you have to work on yourself, not on anything else. And yet many people are doing just the opposite, trying to learn one thing after another and even harboring attachments to psychic powers. You see all kinds of motives. Some even want to become energy healers so that they can make money from it! But true spiritual practice is about working on the mind, or character. For example, it entails learning to worry less about the disputes that might surround you, and value less worldly things that people normally want and feel strongly about you. You shouldn't expect many results from your practice if instead you are all caught up in competition with others and pushing hard to come out on top. In that case you are just like everyone else, and shouldn't expect to get any higher energy from it. This is why you need to put character at the heart of your practice. And if you can do that, you will find yourself elevating spiritually and your energy growing.”
