About This Book

Examines the self-deceptions, distortions, and sidetracks that imperil the spiritual journey as well as awareness and fearlessness of the true path.

What You'll Learn

Spiritual materialism is the use of spiritual practice to make the ego feel better about itself rather than to see through it — it is the subtlest and most dangerous form of ego-reinforcement. The spiritual path is not a journey toward something better but a progressive stripping away of what is false. The guru principle works not because the teacher is perfect but because an awake mind has the capacity to reflect the student's own awakened nature.
