It means you are standing at the doorway to profound transformation. You see, the way we've been taught to measure success - even spiritual success - is fatally flawed. It assumes that if we just keep on working on our issues and overcoming our faults and accessing more and more rarefied states of being we will eventually get to experience the peace and joy we so desire. But it doesn't actually work out like that. No matter how much we achieve materially or how long we sit in meditation, it never quite brings us the satisfaction we are looking for. After a few moments of bliss, the petty suffering of our human existence returns. In "The Discovery of Causeless Joy," transformational coach Russel Brownlee describes the dilemma of the modern-day mystic - that most of the success teachings and spiritual wisdom that we so earnestly practice is actually taking us further away from our heart's desire.
