Document Summary

In this aricle welwood points out the diiculies faced by westerners in truly integraing any insights about the nature of mind and reality. Spiritual realisaion is easy: it"s not diicult to have moments of clarity re: the 3 characterisics of phenomena. How to actualize it (i. e. applying it in our daily lives) is diicult. In some case, realizaion can make you worse than before you started (e. g. more aloof, detached, disengaged from life) One can directly understand truths of who we are and what we perceive but sill have pockets of unconsciousness and ignorance that deceive us and lead to unskillful acts. Realizaion: movement from personality to being (i. e. , liberaion from the prison" of the condiioned self) vs. transformaion- integraing realizaion into personal life. Westerners easily realize" but have diiculty transforming". Welwood suggests integraing psychological and spiritual progress, especially for westerners for whom spiritual understanding oten has no impact on their lives.
