Spiritual Practice Is Psychological Practice
Spiritual practice has to be practised to be practical 🙂 It must solve our problems, dissatisfaction and suffering. When we can do that, we are able to benefit others. Chanting and meditation don’t do this. These are methods or antidotes that make us feel good temporarily, but we can become addicted to those methods – and if they don’t change anything, it’s pointless.
Spiritual psychology is a matter for the individual.
Methods do not make us more intuitive, help us realise our true mind, or make us compassionate. Compassion is understanding and being reliable in whatever is presented to us in the moment now. Plenty of people chant and pray, but can they communicate what we all have in common, which is unexceptional?
Spiritual psychology is seeing and knowing how our own mind works, and not being driven by any sort of dogma or culture.
The psychology is dropping all attachments
and arriving at emptiness/shunyata.
The place from where we started.
