A true grace is that of seeing the unique through traditions.
This grace grants the courage, the audacity necessary to remain outside a frame of mind consisting of thinking that only one of the traditions shelters the path in an exclusive way.
Grace and audacity:
Grace is that which is given outside of everything that one says, does, or practices.
It totally ignores our gesticulations.
Audacity, on the other hand, is that which confers the secret filiation which opens grace.
This audacity is confidence in our good right, our legitimacy, our birthright.

I would suggest traditions are but veils, curtains, obscuring what is « real ».
What you call grace seems to be entering through those curtains, knowing that what lies beyond is our own spirit.
Audacity is the courage to step through, leaving the traditions behind, to come face to face with ourselves and the spirit that unites, encompasses us.

One must pay close attention, though, as ‘beyond-curtain’ rhetoric is the most perfect hiding place for ego-based functioning…with the perfect alibi of spiritual practice.
So have I learned through encounters and personal observation.
The latter, mainly.

One must always be careful…

I really don’t like being careful.
I prefer carefree
but I didn’t write the rules…

« Close attention » and « careful » seem similar concepts.
But a careful watchfulness is not, necessarily, in opposition to being « carefree ».
Nor is « carefree » the same as « careless ».
