Which Way?
I've tried to investigate many different traditions, secular and non-secular, to see if any feels like a perfect fit. I recently read an interview with Stanley Kripner. He doesn't deny the reality of so-called psychic phenomena or subtle energy, but doesn't think it's supernatural either. He keeps an anthropological perspective on individual traditions. What I take away from this is that my individual experiences are legitimate in their own right. Anybody in this western culture at this point in time is a pioneer of their own way. I don't need to join anything just to give legitimacy to my practice. To the extent I am able, my practice involves following the lead of dreams, visions, and instinct and what comes through, contained within the body and stance of the witness.
