Spiritual Banter!!

There can definitely something calming about spiritual books, despite their mind-numbing, rhetorical banter. The trick to understanding the depth behind the simplistic words and even more simplistic concepts, is being in the right somewhat pensive, pseudo depressed, overwhelmed, and emotionally exhausted mood. In that particular mood the simplest and most basic concepts appear enlightening... Each idea comes in the form of a revelation. The funny thing is the more popular the book, the more simplistic the concept, the wider the scope for personal interpretation. Then the writers take credit for your own ingenious interpretation of whatever nonsense they managed to communicate. I'll give them some credit for having a basic understanding of human psychology and their detailed observation of human behaviour which when communicated to us (but only at that point of mental desperation) somehow has a mind-altering effect.
Now take that same book, and read it while alert and analytical, and see if you achieve the same emotionally elaborate reaction... I am reading a book, that seemed substantially significant to human growth 2 months ago, and I just didnt have time to get through the last chapter. Now, i have ten pages left and enough time, but I don't seem to want to get through them. The entire books 'meaning' has been reduced to one idealistic man's marxist fantasy for an ideal world of equality, communicated through stages of human emotion (and growth). If I'd known from the beginning where the book was going, i don't think I'd have bothered wirh it!
