@Tom
The more I have a chance to browse your blog, the more I like. And your asking these questions leads me of course to ask the same.

Why do I write? For one, I find writing helps bring clarity. In a way to discover what i already know (laughs) But also, I have found that what I have learned seems to come with an embedded sense that it needs to be shared. That the audience I’m writing for is the shared self, in whatever value it has when it falls upon what I’ve written.

Not everyone gets that push to share.

It reminds me of another lesson (from your future post). Not everyone is a teacher. Many people who awaken simply continue to be who they always appeared to be. But now in place of peace. Its much less common to find a teacher. And still more rare to find someone who understands how they got there.

@Evan… Me, too. Spirituality should, above all else, be practical. I’m going to do my best to make it so.

Hi Tom, I think practical spirituality is really where it's at. Looking forward to your future posts. Evan's last blog post..“Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow”?

Hi Amanda… Welcome! Glad to have you here. So you enjoyed Deepak Chopra. I like Deepak. He is pretty cool for a doctor, wouldn’t you say? I’ve learned a thing or two from him over the years, too. I’m browsing his latest book on Jesus. Interesting read. He is a prolific writer and has helped millions. He is kind of a celebrity these days, but that’s fine with me. I need to look at the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, a book I haven’t read. A trip to B&N is in order. Again, glad to have you here. Feel free to leave comments any time.

Hi Tom, I’m a relatively new reader of your blog and I enjoyed this post. Your list of influences got me thinking about mine. One thing that I’ve read that has really influenced my life is the “Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” by Deepak Chopra. Very simple, but profound advice.

Tom, There's a lot in this post.I won't try to go step by step. I particularly have enjoyed my "awakening" and your participation in that,through discussions and comments. You've been a great help and inspiration to me. I intend to follow up and read some of your suggestions for reading material. I too enjoy and am influenced by the teachings of Jesus of Nazarath. I hope to continue to mold myself in the direction he teaches while being open to other Spiritual paths. Perhaps I will check out the Sedona Method!
