For Those On A Spiritual Quest, Silent Pond Welcomes You Home.
Description
For the last thirteen years I have been pursuing just about everything I can, to try to get to a proper understanding and grasp of what it is be human. I was born and raised a Catholic but as I grew older, I found myself wanting more understanding of life than what Catholicism could teach me. And so I turned to other religions - first Hinduism, then Buddhism and finally Sufism. In the process, I got hooked on the writings of Rumi, travelled through the holy sites of India, climbed the sacred mountain Arunachala and felt grateful gasps of silence when I was lucky enough to get them. At one point (much to my later embarrassment), I got very “spiritual”. Like most aspirants on the path to discovery I went through quite a stage of feeling "rather special". Indeed, my friends, bless them, looked at me from the corners' of their eyes and said nothing...
For a while, I almost felt like a prisoner to my emotions. As soon as I became conscious of the fact that I didn't like what I was thinking, suddenly everything seemed ten times worse! I was unable to determine my mood from one moment to the next and frankly, that kind of irritated (!). I wanted to be in control, not be controlled by a mind that I was just beginning to meet! As time progressed, I found myself more addicted to the understanding and removal of all of my negative attitudes, those aspects of myself that had seemed to dictate my reactions for so long. I wanted mastery over myself and not to be controlled by these electrical impulses that we call the mind! In effect, I wanted to still my mind.
I found myself going through just about every life experience that you can think of and as you can probably relate, things were pretty messed up for a while. As I began to explore new ideas, I started to define a pattern to my internal responses. This helped me focus more on my inner Self. As I delved deeper into my thoughts, more and more information suddenly appeared. I'd be reading a passage in a book and like a bolt from the blue, the answers to questions' that I'd been working on for days would make themselves known to me, written right there in black and white.
