Spiritual practice is a wave : sitting on this wave, it is normal for the practitioner to oscillate between higher and lower points, and to sometimes experience piercing peaks beyond and falls below such points.
Towards the top of this oscillation, the axis of dualism, of interest in institutional form, of traditional community settlement coming together through ritual and consistent talks.
As we move towards the lower points we approach an internalized form of spiritual practice, the freedom from tradition and a frequent tendency to practice outside of framed and groups. Touching a lower point often results in a rebound,
Similarly, hitting an upper point triggers a return downward.
Along this wave, though, it is possible for the practitioner to escape, owing to a surprising break along the wave. There are different manners of breaking out…
– Rejection: an exit from the practice itself, or all practices.
– A wave jump: meta spirituality, dimensional shift.
– Oscillation: the practice is inserted in a cycle beyond that of the wave it traveled, including a transverse rythmicity, quite difficult to identify.
– Salvation exit: the practitioner is beyond waves and cycles. He loses the fuel that pushed him through the frequencies visited, and through this, the interest in the undulatory paths from which he stands, he embraces them and they appear to him with an unfathomable serenity.
He sees them being born, maturing and withering away.
He breathes from the heart of the waves.

I find myself puzzling over what you characterise ashigh and low points. Why not the other way round?
To what extent do both extremes betray a form of self-centredness…?

-high and low points = polarities in spiritual life (dual / non-dual approach)
(we keep oscillating back and forth, bouncing from one pole to the other….the post questions the way to leave this pattern and break out of the wave)
these « points » are not so much extremes as they are a natural breathing movement within our spiritual quest.
Yet, this pattern need to be transcended.
I do not understand your reference to self centeredness …it is correlated to a certain passage or does it reflect your own perspective on the topic ?
a nice day to you, Simon.

Ah, this has reappeared..
I think self centredness meant that, whether in community and ritual, or personal rejection of that, the individual tends to be spending time contemplating his or her own state to the exclusion of all else. Perhaps that is the untranscended pattern.
But, it is now some time since I wrote that comment, soooo…
… anything is possible…
