Spirituality starts making sense as two basic points sink in:
1) We're asleep.
2) We can wake up.
Without heart/mind as a starting point our wanderings create more sleep, more imagination. Then ego-mind even uses 'spiritual tools' to get what it thinks it wants.
Turning spirituality into an acquisition leads to
bankrupt outcomes. It's parking another dream-car in the garage of ego-mind's dream-house. This increases the odds of not recognizing we're asleep at the wheel.
Seeing our sleep state is one thing, feeling it in a compelling way is another. Then a yearning can arise: awakening's longing to awaken in and through us.
The result is a stream eroding our resistances on its way to the ocean of Self. It contains a current of intelligence awakening heart's knowing.
Sparks from this knowing ignite into flames consuming our limits and bindings. We're led along a pathway to our inner garden as naturally as the force of gravity.
