When walking the spiritual path, it can prove beneficial to step aside from the dualistic rut in which we continually find ourselves and have a frank heart-to-heart spiritual talk with oneself every now and then. … THIS POST HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN, AS IT APPEARS IN JOHN ROGER BARRIE’S APRIL 2024 BOOK, “THE DEEPEST SILENCE AND OTHER ESSAYS ON CONTEMPORARY SPIRITUALITY.”

Wonderful! So true – that seductive, distracting exterior world is both a challenge and a necessary counterpoint to our spiritual evolution.
Thank you, Beth, for your thoughtful comment. Yes, the “distracting exterior world” is all too deceptively real at times.
