James Wood Teachings

Marriage is best used for personal growth in service to awakening. Most personal growth is in service to the ego. Personal growth by itself is not enough. If you put finding Freedom ahead of acquiring things, what you need will come to you. You can use worldly things for personal growth leading to awakening. You can enjoy practicing together. If your spouse wakes up, it could get interesting. Although many spiritual traditions are monastic, celibacy is not necessary. Grounding is important. We want to bring consciousness into human form and enliven it.
