[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 623160, member: 17461"] Purifying the vessel from the inside.... I have been reading Eckhardt Tolle, today. I am reading, now, something similar to your quote about cleansing the vessel from within, COM. Tolle describes the fruition of this practice as infusing spirituality into every daily activity through truly becoming present to what it is we are doing. Just really being there. Which is what I have been trying to do while watching the sun rise. It turns out to be harder than you would think. Almost as though there were something heavily at work against the clarity of it. More defenses, afraid to let go, afraid to be seen.... Which makes me think of Brene Brown's "seeking, and riding, the edge of discomfort." I like this so much I came back to this post today just to read it again, just to be certain that you said what I thought you said. I even told husband about it. It is true, COM. That is the reason to work the spiritual practices. I never was much into "enlightenment" for its own sake, though it does seem to happen. But oh, to be free like that! Cedar [/QUOTE]
