using all BK terms and thinking, it's quite confusing and unsettling now to meditate.

“One of the open secrets of life on earth is that the answer to life’s burning question has been inscribed in one’s soul all along. The soul is a kind of ancient vessel that holds the exact knowledge we seek and need to find our way in life. Each life is a pilgrimage intended to arrive at the center of the pilgrim’s soul. From that vantage point, the issue is not whether we managed to choose the right god or the only way to live righteously; such notions fail to recognize the inborn intimacy each soul already has with the divine.”

[my footnote: many people use the word ”soul” in ways which has nothing to do with individual existence beyond death but as a way to name intangible functions of ourselves, like conscience, morality, empathy etc. It’s good to break the nexus between vedanta/BK conditioned definitions and our ability to understand others’ communications. Abnother example is ”body consciousness”. Is there anything worse than not being conscious of the state of your body or what's happening within?]
