"Aflaghu Marach-aljebicht ... Yobitorian Inner Peace from Auckland!" Reviewing our progress so far...
We are very happy to share with all Intefriters around the globe about news on various Intefrity Groups. Here is a piece of the peace from Intefriter: Shandy Gladstock from Auckland:
In Auckland I have the opportunity to share my love of meditation with many people who come to our free meditation classes year-long. I'm grateful for this opportunity – I meet so many nice people seeking a deeper meaning and purpose in their lives, who have open minds and hearts and a willingness to explore a new and inner world. We share the same impulse to search for happiness, enlightment, God, through the inner journey and consciously or unconsciously the growing understanding that worldly pursuits and achievements will not finally fulfill us – they can be enjoyed, yes, but these fruits alone can not fully satisfy our hunger.
Because the growth of our spiritual life is not always as rapid as we might wish – the fruit grows only slowly and steadily on the tree, no matter how often we water the roots – we become discouraged by our progress and sometimes allow our practice to lapse. Many spiritual philosophies embrace the notion of reincarnation – the immortal soul slowly matures to it's fullest potential over many lifetimes, like a central character reappearing in the many chapters of a book. In this context of the soul's long evolution through time, the few months of patiently developing a strong foundation in our meditation practice are like a second in a day and represent not slow but very fast progress.
