Dear Harsha-ji,

 

One more reading I really like, just saw it yesterday. An article in the

SPRING 2000 issue of TRICYCLE MAGAZINE:

 

"The Psychology of Awakening," by John Wellwood.

 

One of the clearest pieces I've seen on the difference between

psychological and spiritual approaches. He sets out a very good, almost

impassioned appeal to confuse spiritual with the psychological approaches.

Each has its place, and it is a dodge or a misunderstanding to force one to

accomplish what the other is supposed to do. He talks about "spiritual

bypassing" and the mistake of "relativizing the sacred." I don't endorse

or agree with everything he says in the article, but this disctinction is

very clearly set out by him. Pretty good!

Love,

 

--Greg
