Pai-Chang

What I don't like about readings like this one, is when a religious teaching tells describes an event that will happen or could happen in your life such as this. A great or life-changing event, described in details as much as possible only makes it likely that our minds will artificially create it, and we will miss the true meaning and occurance of it. Similar to the way some christian religions talk about speaking in tongue's and whatnot as spirits or God is speaking through you, and then all of a sudden everyone around has these occurences, I feel that these kind of descriptions and expectations about religion that we build for people only distract from the real thing, if and when it were ever going to happen.

I feel, in speaking about enlightenment and reaching a free mind, that the phrase, "you'll know when it happens" describes what to expect in a more appropriate and more purposeful, beneficial manner.
