SUMMARY
When you begin to climb your own mystic mountain you start to leave behind fear, self-doubt, and the rest of human ignorance. The higher you climb the more wonder unfolds and the pull to go on becomes irresistible. The job of the spiritual master is to remind you of the invisible mountain within. And to show you the unnecessary baggage you must leave behind in order to make the ascent.
'Some said that anyone who climbed this mountain never returned. And that's the truth.'
'I have climbed the mountain, and I am not here, although I am projected in a physical sense. I climbed the mountain and I disappeared. And as the tribes people and the elders there knew, he could not return, because he reached the summit. He is now with the Holy One, God. United with it, which is where the mountain reaches up to.'
