This Ten Stages path offers truth, but truth comes at the price of exposing what is false.

If you do try to share what’s happening to your spiritual life, and to your daily life–you are probably going to get a black eye, or a string of black eyes. When this is coming from your friends, it’s probably going to hurt, at least until it doesn’t. The further you go, the broader the gap will be. This path offers truth, but truth comes at the price of exposing what is false. It’s a price we have to be willing to accept. We have to decide what we really want. If it’s acceptance, approval, or accolade, I’d suggest finding another path.
