"In pursuit of psychological and spiritual realities"
This journey which you have undertaken, if you have made such a commitment, is one which is to learn more about something. That something is usually what one refers to first as the facts, then you will understand it in terms of the truth. Ultimately this will change and you will understand that it is the realization of the self. It doesn't matter whether it is the lifelong struggle to know God or the desire to become more aware of one's psychological makeup. In the final analysis it all translates the same.
This teaching is not one which pretends to be agreed to by just anyone of any tradition or creed or religious background, but it is a study and a presentation of ideas which are universal and to a certain extent should transcend the basic rudimentary concepts that most religious ideas eminate from around the world.
The biggest breakthrough any philosophical or religious belief system encounters is when an individual realizes that the ideas they are facing were ideas which came from other human beings and have been handed down in forms which communicate what the human mind can comprehend. Even when one experiences communication from God, we must acknowledge that our limited abilities and our obstructed filtering systems prevent us from ever knowing for sure that this communication is 100% sound and accurate.
It isn't the material which we need to question but rather our own ability or inability to totally cognize it within our current state of consciousness. This is the point to this teaching. It's hope is in the raising of consciousness so that we can more fully cognize "Absolute" concepts and retain a better understanding of the Highest Level of consciousness which is our ultimate True Reality.
Pyschology is defined as the study of the mind, not limited to the "human mind" but consciousness itself. Spirituality is that realm which transcends the physical world of matter and in some manner or other is connected to the concept of the Divine, God, Truth, or ultimate Reality. Thus the pursuit of psycholgical and spiritual realities is a journey where one dedicates their life to understanding Consciousness and Being.
