Most people I know who start soul searching do so because they feel that something is missing from their lives. They are not sure what is missing but they all seem to want a bigger more meaningful life. There will be pain and confusion in the search, there is no such thing as an 'armchair' soul searcher. Half-hearted searchers find next to nothing, they find more illusions. But this does not mean that the search has to be deadly serious and sombre, you are not signing up to be a monk or a nun, you are looking for more life, not less.

All the people I know who have travelled far down the soul searching road become playful. You do not have to sit in a cave for ten years staring at the wall, flogging yourself, literally or psychologically. Discipline that works is something you find, rather than impose artificially. The soul is light, in all meanings of the word. But at the end of the day, you will need to choose a technique and apply it until . . . . .

until you know . . . . .

This may help:

- have you chosen a technique?

- if you have not chosen a technique, why not?

- are you ever going to choose a technique?

- if you have chosen a technique and it is not working

. . . .are you going to change it for another? when?

- if you have chosen a technique but do not know if

. . . it is working or not, just carrying on but do more of it !

 

good luck.

 

These 18 pages have concentrated on the techniques of Praxis. Praxis is the best technique I know. Good luck with it, or whatever technique you choose.

The remaining nine pages offer supporting observations and

a final summary called "Wholething".
