In our first seminar we lay out the basis for the journey toward awakening. We start where we are, and also assume that the infinite is present here and now. We discuss the goal of spiritual philosophy, and introduce essential practices which will continue throughout the course. We examine the basics for practice: earnestness, openness, detachment, right thinking and longing for truth leading to stillness and insight. We discuss spiritual philosophy in terms of the rhythms of our journey-- the complementary nature of long and short path, love and wisdom. We look at the three-fold path of freedom, truth and love.
