Spiritual Transformation Is Not a Psychological Process

Authentic spiritual or mystical transformation is not a psychological process. Mystical teachings go deeper than that - they refer to the nature of consciousness and the structure of the evolving cosmos we are living in.

Many people interpret these teachings as injunctions or instructions, and they can be used in that way, but they really represent a deeper and more subtle dimension of reality itself. And when you begin to look at mystical or enlightenment teachings as laws and subtle structures that actually exist, rather than ideas that someone came up with, your relationship to them changes significantly. You realize that they represent an absolute truth, and you have to work with them. These principles become the path, you walk in a straight line, and you will see development occur. You can’t go wrong.
