Deep dives

Understanding the Direct Path

The direct path emphasizes that awareness, freedom, and love are inherent within us, rather than something to be created or developed. This perspective differentiates itself from the gradual path of meditation by suggesting that enlightenment is not an endpoint but a series of glimpses into our true nature. The direct approach encourages shifting what is often hidden in our background into the foreground of our consciousness to recognize this existing essence. It acknowledges the importance of continuously experiencing these glimpses, leading to gradual personal unfolding over time.
