Understand the Spiritual Path

There are two things about the spiritual path that are really important for you to be clear on before you embark on this journey. First, is that you have a clear understanding of the philosophy that this spiritual path is based on. Second, you have to make sure you are in alignment with this philosophy.

In addition to that, people often say they are on the spiritual path but most people will not be able to outline the philosophy of the path, the path itself and its goal. To make progress on the spiritual path all of these three things need to be clearly defined and understood as well.

    Preparing for Death - Life’s Inevitable Transition
