Spiritual progress...

It is not our usual experience to wake up suddenly one day from sleep and find that our point of view has changed, but it is no exaggeration to say that it takes but one moment to change one's outlook on life entirely.

Spiritual progress is the changing of the point of view. This is what initiation is.

We go on in life from one initiation to the next, and each step on the ladder that seems to be standing before us for us to climb becomes an initiation. And each step on that
ladder changes our point of view if only we hold on to the ladder and do not drop down: for there is always the possibility of going either forward or backward.

What at one time gives man great satisfaction at another time humiliates him.
