I want to preface this review by stating that if you have not gone through the rigors of your own spiritual 'path', you may find what Tara Springett speaks about in her Spiritual Joy, The Fastest Way to Enlightenment, to seem farfetched, novel in its scope, marginally useful, or quite pivotal in that it solves the riddle of entering and abiding in the enlightened state. For myself, this bit of Buddhist wisdom was the brilliant and shining final piece to the puzzle of how to finally unlock the door to consciously and consistently dwelling in the resulting fruit of many years of spiritual quest.
I must admit when I first saw this book, I thought to myself, 'oh here is another honest but 'new age' attempt at simplifying ancient wisdom'. The next thing I noticed was the novel idea of being a fast way to enlightenment. Is there such a thing as a fast way to the enlightened state of being? One might answer in the affirmative because the Western mind frequently seems to feel as if it is running out of time and must attain 'the goal' before the demise of the physical body and the current personality. Perhaps the idea that spending nearly 45 years of spiritual study to achieve a state of 'critical mass' whereby one final piece pushes one into the transformative, resulting stage of development is excessive. Well, I certainly hope not because that is what I felt after reading Ms. Springett's book.
Spiritual Joy is not a new concept or practice as alluded to earlier. The difference is in the way that Tara allows the reader to take baby steps, slowly unfolding into this extraordinary mindset. Certainly, there are methods and tools offered by the writer, as mentioned in earlier reviews. Therefore if that is what will peak your interest in reading this book, then by all means read those reviews. I guess this review is for the student of life who has reached a crossroads or plateau. You may have already experienced the enlightened state through your practice, be it through Kundalini awakening, non duality, or other worthy pursuits or methods. So, do you now live and abide in this well earned state of enlightenment. If not, you might ask yourself why and what was the point of investing so much time and effort. You may find that Spiritual Joy is the final piece to your puzzle of lifelong effort. Similarly, you may find this teaching a shortcut to spending so much time circuitously searching for where you wish to arrive. Even if you are an absolute beginner, there is significant merit in Tara Springett's new literary offering.
This was a fantastic book, and it was fascinating to learn about how to find spiritual joy in daily life. I will definitely be using this technique to "dissolve" my negative emotions. I discovered where in my body my negative emotions were manifesting, so now I can relax them. The synopsis for the book did a perfect job of describing the book. The Buddha said that life is suffering, and what that means is that lasting happiness cannot come from outside of us in the mundane world. "Ordinary joy is incomplete," but the author says that doesn't mean we have to give up all of our possessions and live in a cave. We can find spiritual joy without years of meditation. It is expansive and vast, and feels much better than ordinary joy, and is accessible to everyone. I especially loved the poems she included at the end of each chapter. They were all wonderful and thought-provoking. You don't have to be a Buddhist or convert to Buddhism in order to practice spiritual joy. What is spiritual joy? The author defines it as "spiritual joy is best described as an experience of boundless space that is imbued with love, joy, and peace." "Happiness is the way" - The Buddha. This book goes beyond positive thinking and also teaches you how to experience spiritual joy. It might take time and effort for it to become habitual and natural for you, but it takes time and effort to break through our already existing destructive and negative patterns. This book is well worth a read. Overall, I really enjoyed it and was amazed at the simplicity of spiritual joy, that it really is "right in front of our noses."
Wonderful and encouraging book for all who seek for a spiritual path and struggle with negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, sadness, depression or with discouraging images of God, world and humans purpose on Earth. I always thought I must dissolve my negative emotions, suffer a lot and practice really hard before I earn a right to feel some joy and happiness. Tara Springett showed me I can feel joy right now because it's my natural state, and it can help me dissolve suffering and negative states of mind. The best thing is that it really works 😊
"Just be." Have you ever received that guidance from a teacher or a friend? To all who take this advice SERIOUSLY, sooner or later it becomes obvious this "just" is the whopper of all justs - especially to the highly-driven, just-get-er-done, Western mind.
It is the genius of Tara Springett in this book to point out that taking things seriously and working to achieve what is already present will certainly prevent you from relaxing in your nature, and make whatever joy you could have noticed and allowed to multiply inaccessible. You can't do it, but you can notice, bring attention and open to vast 'spiritual joy' that is already there uncaused.
For Buddhist "practitioners", especially people drawn to Mahamudra, "spiritual joy" - the language Tara uses to communicate your nature and the nature of emptiness itself - may sit like a chicken bone in the throat. After all, it's not the language typically used to point to 'emptiness,' the final impersonal emptiness that is One. Why use the word "joy" which implies yet a hint of the personal and some separation to describe Impersonal Oneness?
I can only answer, that the most clinging/grasping parts of me are in fear of the emptiness as typically described. You open to a life without "you as you think you know yourself" when ready. Tara's language soothes and functions as bridge between personal and impersonal, supporting and encouraging whatever readiness is there.
The book moves quickly to the point, is plain-spoken, beautifully-written and consistently offers both insights about commonly cherished negative emotions and practical, often funny pointers for leaving them behind.
