7 Paths to God
About This Book
Some people find God by living in harmony with the rhythms of nature, others by the practice of specific meditations and prayers. For some, the way is beauty, creativity, love, devotion, study, or service. Just as many rivers lead to the sea, there are many paths to God. Each of the seven primary energy centers of the human body—the chakras—corresponds to a specific path. In this book, those paths are outlined, complete with spiritual exercises, giving you, the reader, a sense of the most fruitful direction for your journey.
What You'll Learn
There is not one spiritual path but many — the path most suited to an individual depends on their psychological constitution, their intellectual and emotional capacities, and the specific life challenges that are their curriculum, and recognizing which of the seven paths is most natural allows one to stop trying to be what one is not and to deepen what one already is. The devotional path and the intellectual path are not opposites but complements — the deepest intellectual inquiry naturally opens into wonder and devotion, while genuine devotion generates the clarity and intensity of attention that is the highest form of intelligence. The prophetic path — the path of social transformation and speaking truth to power — is a genuine spiritual path and not a distraction from the inner life: the person who is genuinely called to this path deprives themselves of essential nourishment when they retreat entirely to contemplation.
