Original versus Cultivated Enlightenment in Mystical Traditions
This chapter explores the concept of original enlightenment versus cultivated enlightenment in different mystical traditions, such as Buddhism and Christianity. It examines the paradox faced by mystics in their quest for spiritual enlightenment and delves into the debate on whether mystical experiences should be cultivated or arise naturally. The speakers also discuss the role of spiritual practice in embracing life's challenges rather than seeking escape.
