“When you approach spirituality as an adventure of being alive, you start as you would any adventure--with a sense of mystery and not-knowing. Instead of searching for answers that make you feel safe, you set out into the vastness of life and death, with a willingness to continually grow. You open up to the possibility that your ordinary life is an extraordinary adventure, and that your joys and sorrows have meaning. Spiritual practice becomes your rudder, offering direction and insight and discretion as you venture into the unknown.” FeelsSpiritualLife IsJoySpiritualityGrowsAnswersPracticeKnowingAliveMysteryPossibilityAdventureSorrowSafeApproachOrdinaryExtraordinaryInsightLife And DeathWillingnessOfferingNot KnowingVentureDiscretionOrdinary LifeVastnessSpiritual PracticeJoys And SorrowsRudders Book:The Seeker's Guide: Making Your Life a Spiritual Adventure Source: The Seeker's Guide: Making Your Life a Spiritual Adventure

“The first "station of separation" corresponds to the state of the ordinary man who perceives the universe as distinct from God. Starting from here, the initiatic itinerary leads the being first to extinction in the divine Unity, which abolishes all perception of created things. But spiritual realization, if it is complete, arrives afterwards at the "second station of separation" where the being perceives simultaneously the one in the multiple and the multiple in the one.” IfsMenFirstsStatesSpiritualSpiritSpiritualityUniverseDivinePerceptionOrdinaryUnityStartingSeparationRealizationPerceiveStationsMultipleExtinctionAbolishOrdinary Man Author:Abdelkader El Djezairi
