Meister Eckhart radically revises the whole notion of spiritual programs. He says that there is no such thing as a spiritual journey. If a little shocking, this is refreshing. If there were a spiritual journey, it would be only a quarter inch long, though many miles deep. It would be a swerve into rhythm with your deeper nature and presence. The wisdom here is so consoling. You do not have to go way outside yourself to come into real conversation with your soul and with the mysteries of the spiritual world. The eternal is at home — within you
John O'Donohue, from Anam Cara
