“There are books that are very hard to review because the realizations and reverberations that they bring are so extremely profound and personal. Spiritual Stepping Stones is one of those books for me.
I started reading this book expecting the usually love yourself, look within concepts that I’ve read so many times before. The kind that usually has one or two personally relevant pieces of information and the rest are just words strung together. As if sensing my half-hearted expectation, the book spoke to me. Essentially it said: You spend so very much time and energy on your work, your dreams, your day to day but how much time and energy do you spend on your spirituality. Not your religion, beliefs, or any sort of rituals but on knowing yourself and being that true self.
In that moment, I had two choices. I could brush off the question with half-truths about how deeply I’ve dug. Or I could take a deep breath and ready myself for some real work. The willingness to make a commitment to myself about not stopping until I truly see myself. Then, consistently taking steps and wading into that darkness without any guarantees.
