Spiritual development seldom is accomplished in one easy step. Instead, it is the accumulation of many smaller steps. Often, each step is the end result of a “pointer” that got you going in the right direction. A pointer can also be a “glimpse” of something you see, or intuit in a flash of insight.
The purpose of this website is to find, aggregate and publish “pointers” found in ancient (and current) literature and electronic media. This should provide pointers to those who desire to develop spiritually.
Not all pointers work for everyone. At any given point in time, you will be handed just the right pointer for you.
Feel free to browse or search this archive and see if you can find pointers that may be helpful.
Discovering who you really are, and finding your way home. The end of the journey. Except, you may find that there was no journey. You did not need to go anywhere, or change anything. Maybe you just needed to discover who you already are, and you have always been at your true home.
A “journey” may end up just a metaphore to get you started.
You will find many more in the growing library of pages here.
