Lost in Distortion: Keys to Keeping Your Spiritual Life Pure and Simple

"We live in a world where everything gets distorted. Sometimes it is unintentional, due to the passage of time and the mind’s inability to accurately recall the real facts. Sometimes it is on purpose, whether to feed an ego, improve one’s image, realize financial gain or to control others. Sometimes it is a combination of these. Regardless of the reasons, to successfully navigate life without being lost in naivety and living under the control of someone else’s motives, one must constantly evaluate and question everything, including things often presented as facts.While there is only one set of real facts in terms of spiritual truth, these facts are hard to come by, and so through time, man has created various views of these spiritual facts. Each religion claims for itself the real truth. Only by getting past the distortions brought by various religions can we begin to see the real truth. The real truth lies beneath the surface and it is here we will find it."
