Family - The Family Matters Workbook

 

 


 

FOREWARNING
This is not primarily a handbook for improving family life.
This workbook is intended to be of practical use to the dedicated seeker/finder, not the casually interested. It is useful for those fiercely dissatisfied with all of the ordinary, but is too much for those looking for a mystical embellishment. It contains ideas and instructions which, when considered deeply and applied correctly, will help you exit permanently from contemporary belief systems and non rigorous ‘new age’ practices. Applying these methods will inevitably  bring you far beyond the assumptions of most of even ‘alternate’ society. Following through on what you will discover for yourself  will thoroughly test your stamina, ingenuity and determination. So be prepared and forewarned  — this is a work book intended as preparation for dervish initiation , an introduction to the process called ‘chille’  —  the spiritual ordeal which cleanses and purifies the body, heart and mind in preparation for awakening and service.  Whatever style of quest you are on, applying  this material is likely to accelerate it!"
