I have had listeners contact me when they are at an impasse in the spiritual life, and they ask the question: What can I do? What can I do to experience unitive awareness, to know nondual awareness? What can I do to wake up, to be enlightened or liberated or experience eternal life? In the New Testament the form of this question is normally phrased as: what must I do to be saved or to inherit eternal life or enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
Many have been on the spiritual path for a long time – for years or even decades - without a definitive breakthrough, and they ask, “What can I do?” It is a difficult, if not impossible, to answer such a question, because in the final analysis it is a matter of grace.
But that does not mean there is nothing we can do. In this episode I explore what I call the threefold path if Jesus. He said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”
I also share a bit more about my own conversion to Christianity, my life in Evangelicalism, my journey through the Dark Night of the Soul, and my awakening to Unitive Awareness.
