Experiencing Insight and Intuition

People tend to make a very sharp distinction between spiritual life and everyday life. They will label a man as "worldly" or "spiritual" and they generally make a hard and fast division between the two.

In the twenty-first century there is a profound need to overcome the apparent gap between world-liness and spirituality. It is essential to integrate our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual lives in meaningful ways. We are involved in an incredibly fast-paced social and economic system.

In many cases, we are moving forward without completing tasks, and thus we feel a sense of incompleteness pervading our lives. 

Sadness and a sense of loss are the inevitable results of such an incomplete life.

Many people are searching for reasons for the events and feelings we experience; they are searching for the answers to the existential questions that surround us.

Each person has a seed within that is the potential he or she was born with. It can be a lust for power, violence, an intellectual thirst, a profound desire for love—it can be anything that an individual wants and truly believes. Along with the inherent seed there is a voice, which is the inner spirit.

This daimon is always there, it never leaves, and it sometimes pushes each of us in the direction we must take. The voice may be quiet sometimes, or it may virtually shout at us to make changes. It applauds, cajoles, nudges, and teases. It may even resort to trickery to get us to change.

Insight meditation is one way to pay direct attention to the inner voice.
