James Wood Teachings

For any real change or growth to occur, it has to be based on something authentic. The conditioned, social self is not sufficient. It cannot be the basis of true change. Most personal growth is about relative, self-based values. Your absolute, true nature is the only value upon which you can build a successful life. It is possible to have personal growth leading to awakening. Awakening involves healthy growth and development. It’s just not necessarily what you think it should be. Letting go and trusting is important. The “you” that you think you are is not who you are.
