The struggle we face in becoming fully awakened human beings

HARD LIGHT CENTER OF AWAKENING

Excerpt of a talk by Mark Griffin...


On the spiritual path, the time will come when life's possibilities and opportunities have reached a wider breadth than you can comfortably deal with. The anguish of a being that has begun to cultivate an inner life is well known. It is much more comfortable to go through life happily shallow and blissfully ignorant, because the instant you try to examine and deal with what's going on inside, you run into paradox after paradox, and no single solution covers the entire situation.



This dynamic is largely based on the complexity of the human form. Part of the struggle we face in becoming fully awakened human beings lies in our capacity to master our form. The more that is awakened within us, the wider the span of possibilities becomes, and the more responsibility we have for mastering our full range of capabilities as human beings.
