An "Idiot's Guide to Self-Realization", (or), How To Overcome Intellectualism.

[Ming the Merciful]

This is a criticism, (in a not-so-critical way). Or, perhaps this is a good opportunity to teach, (instead participating). What I see here is a problem. I can appreciate people are trying to learn from the "Awakening", and there are many viewpoints and opinions into discovering Spirituality. I had an opportunity which few people have, in that I studied under a Zen Master, and learned the practicalities of understanding, (and comprehending), Spirituality. Most people can only comprehend Spirituality Intellectually, (which is not all bad). However, perhaps this is an opportunity to teach people to learn Spirituality Intuitively. Or, the "Art of Learning in No-Mind". The Zen. Not that I am saying that is the only way, (but), it is a step in another direction. Looking at Spirituality from another perspective. Intellectualism can sometimes be an obstruction because when we learn to observe in "Higher Consciousness" and in the Higher States of Awareness. Becoming the "Observer" and not the "Participant". Then Spiritual Understanding become more clear. You can only look into a pond when there are no waves blown by the wind. [DON'T FORGET TO VOTE].
