The Spiritual Journey: A Functional Model

"I presented a functional model for practice, for conceiving of what the spiritual journey is about," he says. " descent and ascent isn't value judgments. It's just a directional statement of movement." We are that product to the extent that we are egos: somebody's soul or body. When you awaken, there is a joy, a breath that's like coming above the smog when you fly,. But there is also a tendency to push against the stuff you were trapped in - it's the renunciopath.
