Why enter into any form of spiritual practice?

Any form of spiritual practice is simply the Self trying to know itself. We must simply gift ourselves the right to ask any question of ourselves objectively, then make a vow to answer with the most absolute honesty available in that moment.

This is not as easy as it sounds as the act of asking any question is requiring a position that is separate and more desirable than the position you currently refer to as "I", so asking objectively is then a very difficult thing to accomplish as you must have a preference in order to ask a question. You soon find that the key is not ridding yourself of desires or preferences in general but instead asking a better quality of question that may require less attachment.

This will change with how honest you are with yourself or as your idea of self changes with growth...
