Spiritual Exercises for Pure Joy!

To get out of the Self of Trauma that makes one want to enter the spiritual quest in the first place, it is necessary to become fully present. The spiritual quest comes down to the will to be present—the only state in which the ego’s obscuration and curvature of space will dissolve. If one can endure the energy of presence, one’s vibrational frequency will ascend to the peak of consciousness, from which the entire circle of time can be seen as the present moment. But for nearly every ego, it is impossible to remain present because that would mean its own death.
