There are so many books published on spiritual technics and disciplines that sometimes it's very difficult to discern which one is better, or one gets lost in that big mountain of information.

I would like to reflect about the timing for every step we take in the evolutive direction. I do think there's a time for gathering information and a time for getting into action. The first and the later correspond to different evolutive levels. As a very dear friend of mine put:

Gathering information: learning about the existence of bread and that it is made with flour, ferment and water. Learning about the technics to cook bread.

Action: To harvest the wheat and make it ready to produce bread, together with the water and the ferment. To make the bread.

My conclusion i: If one knows of bread existence and its goodness; if one knows about the flour, the water and the ferments; if one knows of technics on how to cook bread... Why don't start the action time -making bread- instead of searching endessly for more information?

We may reflect in which level one thinks is right now. Curiously, it seems El'vis Aaron - Rhama Azul is asking for a little action... 8) :P

Never mind, Sue-Lenora. One simply gets lost in such amount of posts in this Forum. :P

Amanda, I love your bread analogy! As I was reading your last bit there, Elvis' song "A Little Less Conversation" started strumming through my mind. "A little less conversation; a little more action please . . ." (Hope I got the words right) :D

It behooves one to sense God as dwelling within each of us, rather than as some distant entity, far above and seemingly beyond our reach.

This is a good association, indeed, Laurie! :P :P

I wonder how many times we loose most of our time in searching for the information instead of acting, out of fear of "failing", of being "incapable", or of "getting lost", or of "being alone in the action"... etc. etc.

Then, to "refuse" action, we set firmly our "feet" on the mind ground, using intellect as our principal tool, denying absolutely the voice of our Heart that is shouting us: "MOVE!!". How do we resolve the conflict between the vital impulse to action, to move, as the heart signals and the tendency to remain still, thinking and thinking...? Developing an acute sense of analysis and criticism of the reality that sorrounds us and probably falling into a depresion of some kind that is the excuse to be blocked.

Many times, we prefer to die inside than to move (because out of self exigency, we pretend to be 100 % sure of what we are going to do and of its every step, instead of treat ourselves lovingly and with compassion, like the learning child we are). :roll:
