Doubt as a Spiritual Gift
On the spiritual journey, doubt can either cripple us or it can free us. When doubt it is expressed as a negative emotion, it causes us to stall out in practice by creating fearful responses and blocking change. Or it can be a powerful tool for awakening when it’s used as an invitation to challenge what you think you know.
Enlightened Lineage
A spiritual lineage that is alive with the energy of enlightenment is one that continues to transmit the power, purity, and possibility of awakening in the present time. Discover what it means to be an active participant in an enlightened lineage.
Spiritual Tests
New spiritual breakthroughs need to be integrated into your being to become permanent shifts in consciousness. One of the ways that awakening deepens and becomes more embodied is through spiritual tests. This is the way to gain insight into the depth of your realizations and to further your journey into expanded and bright fields of awareness.
Choices
Our choices shape our future. Enlightenment is a choice that is made, in every moment of every day. If you want your realization to be different from what it currently is, you have to make different choices. Here’s how.

A book of advanced teachings for those on the doorstep of spiritual liberation and beyond, it is an intimate and direct exploration of the shift from realization to integrating and embodying enlightenment deeply and completely.
Spiritual non-violence
The practice of non-violence is usually understood as doing no harm physically. But from a spiritual perspective, non-violence includes refraining from both physical and energetic harm. In Buddhism and Hinduism, the practice is called ahimsa, which Mahatma Gandhi defined as non-violence in thought, word, and deed.
Attention, perception, and awareness
Attention, perception, and states of awareness are all partialities. Learn the difference between these common spiritual terms, and how to access a direct experience of Reality before attention or perception create any limited views of consciousness.
Intuition is a powerful spiritual guide
On the advanced spiritual path, intuition is your powerful inner guide. Intuition tells you what next step to take even (and especially) if you can’t see the path in front of you. It is very common not to have a clear view of the way forward. On the advanced path, it’s your intention to wake up that is clear, not necessarily the path itself.

Enlightenment destroys enlightenment
To be fully awake, to experience Reality without any modifications, all identities, ideas, and filters must be washed away. This includes the enlightened identity. The process can be disorienting, but it is the ultimate liberation.
Spiritual pathways: practice and pitfalls
The common pathways to enlightenment offer a set of unique tools with the same ultimate goal: full awakening. Yet any technique, strategy, practice or experience will have its limitations. Take a closer look at the various spiritual yogas, including: service, devotion, inquiry, energy practices, and mysticism, to understand their benefits, as well as their potential pitfalls, so that you can travel with eyes wide open on your own path.
When jerks wake up
During the awakening process, which has many stages, it may be surprising to find in yourself and others that some of the worst tendencies become dominant. And because developmental work and shadow work are not necessarily required to wake up, awakened ones may not have matured in all areas.
Trust your gut
There is no universal roadmap on the advanced path. However, intuition is the compass that helps you find your way. Intuition is available through seeing, feeling and knowing. When in doubt, trust your gut.
Traps of the spiritual ego
The ego is very clever and turns itself into many forms as a distraction from authentic awakening. This results in various forms of ego-based spirituality, including spiritual materialism, bypassing, mastery and elitism. The spiritual ego can arise before and after liberation, and will continue its efforts to trap you. Ultimately, limiting identities, beliefs and practices must be discarded in order to be free.
Two foundational skills for the advanced path
There is no set amount of years of arduous practice required or an initiation that is needed to shift to the advanced path. However, there are two foundational skills that make the advanced path possible. Without these two skills, there is too much distraction and disharmony for the advanced path to take root.
Four obstacles to spiritual liberation
There are four main obstacles to liberation. Willingness and trust are the keys to overcoming the problems, distractions, and traps the ego will manifest to block your way. Learn how to move beyond your comfort zone by pushing through negative thoughts and emotions in order to become more alive, more fluid, more free.
