From the Introduction to
The Way of Harmony:
Many people get caught in one polarity or the other. Some become very spiritual, giving their whole lives over to the pursuit of truth: meanwhile they struggle to pay the rent and make ends meet financially. That was the path I took for many years, and it was my own need for balance, as well as my desire to share the treasure I found, the core insight, that inspired this book.
?Others go in the opposite direction. The spiritual dimension in life sounds too abstract to them, too idealistic, and so they place all their trust in the material, in the world of the marketplace, money, technology, and things. While they may accumulate material security and do well in the world, there is a chronic dissatisfaction, a lack of real inner peace and happiness, in their heart and soul.
?The way to successfully integrate the spiritual and material is through seeing that they are in fact not different from each other, but are reflections of the one reality, the one divine consciousness, or energy, that underlies all creation. The more clearly you see this, the easier it is to walk in the world with balance?
