The highest practice, the best thing that you can do if you want to reach spiritual enlightenment, manifest, and solve issues, is this: keep it real, be practical, be grounded, and face issues head-on without running. If you are engaging in spiritual modalities, techniques, and all these other things, you are doing what is known as a spiritual bypass. You’ll feel great, but you will never address the core of your issues. In order to manifest, you have to heal your issues.
So, the practice of spiritual reality is to keep it real, use common sense, have raw honesty, and keep your issues in your face. Tell the demon to sit down, invite the issue to come right in, roll with reality, say hello to pain, and do it all without resistance. When you have a very high soul issue, it will manifest in physical reality. If you’re not paying attention, it will hit you physically.
You have to say to your issues, in a New York kind of way, “Come on in. I am facing you, looking you right in the eye, and I am going to be a straight shooter with this problem.” You have to make reality your best friend. When you do that, when reality becomes your best friend and you face all the issues head-on, you are actually spiritually upgrading and moving into enlightenment. So the best advice from a spiritual teacher and a New Yorker: keep it real.
