Dear Ocean.

It was like some grand, mysterious force began pulling me away from land and suddenly, I needed water—vast expanses of it.2,123 views

10 Obstacles to Sane Spirituality…
by Julian Walker on Jun 6, 2011
The laying out of these 10 obstacles is intended to be both humorous and instructive, and with each obstacle I will provide one general suggestion and one suggestion for teachers and healers on how to use it as a portal towards integration and sanity. My hope is that by the end of this article, perhaps you will agree that not only are these 10 obstacles quite problematic, but that they can also serve as 10 doorways or portals that lead to a more sane, integrated next stage of spiritual growth. This requires curiosity about what lies obscured from view underneath or behind each obstacle.7,099 views
