"The study of spirituality goes deeply into the heart of every matter and extends far beyond the physical world of matter. Spirituality connects you with the profoundly powerful and divine force that's present in this universe. Whether you're looking for worldly success, inner peace, or supreme enlightenment, no knowledge can propel you to achieve your goals and provide as effective a plan for living as does spiritual knowledge.
"* No financial or societal stature helps you get ahead in life as much as spiritual wisdom.
"* No amount of outer efforts bears as much fruit as understanding and flowing with the spiritual laws of this universe.
"* None of the powerful people you know can 'connect' you like the power of knowing your own self.
"* No friend can know and guide you as much as that truly best friend who exists behind all friends, behind all enemies, and in your very own soul."
- Sharon Janis, Spirituality For Dummies
And, yes, I happily and proudly own a copy of this book and will quote from it from time to time. Part of our growth into spiritual awareness is acknowledging the (previous) limitations and the "dummy-ness" of our earthbound minds, releasing those limitations, and rejecting any shame or guilt that we may attach to such limitations. And I think that any resource that can move us along the path to becoming truly and deeply spiritually enlightened is a good thing!
