Keep it simple, there's no need for you to read all spiritual books under the sun:
“Another delay on the way to Enlightenment is the supposition that one
has to master and assimilate a vast amount of spiritual information in
order to achieve spiritual success. Spiritual libraries usually contain
hundreds of books, in addition to which are endless workshops, training
groups, and diversions that may lead to an intense study of theology,
metaphysics, philosophers, religious histories,
and the like. While valuable information does arise along the way, it
often ends up being more of an interference than a help because the
accumulated erudition reinforces spiritual pride and the self-delusion
of “I know.”
To cut through the complexity, it is really only
necessary to know and apply a few simple spiritual tools, the efficacy
of which is enormously empowered by the consistency of their practice
and continuous application to everything, no matter what, with no
exceptions. To be serviceable and useful, the tool has to be simple and
brief, perhaps consisting of only a single concept. To be remembered is
that spiritual evolution is not the consequence of knowing about the
Truth, but the willingness to become that truth. To learn about
spiritual reality is interesting and has some benefit. It is best to
choose by intuition and attraction a spiritual teacher and teachings or a
school to which one feels aligned and the validity of which has been
verified by consciousness calibration techniques.”
