The Unexpected Path to Spiritual Awakening: Why Chasing Enlightenment Is Like Demolition Derby

The Shocking Reality of the First Revelation

Ever had your whole reality implode on you like a bad episode of reality TV?

Picture this: You’re cruising along, blissfully ignorant, when BAM! The truth hits you like a wrecking ball to a sandcastle. That’s the start of spiritual awakening. The initial revelation is a sucker punch, leaving you dazed and wondering if you’ve signed up for a demolition derby instead of a peaceful enlightenment retreat. You’re not adding new truths…

It’s like trying to fix a car while it’s speeding down the highway.
