How to Succeed at the Inner Pilgrimage

The word ‘pilgrimage’ derives from the Latin peregrinus, meaning ‘foreign’, derived from peregre, meaning ‘going’ abroad, derived from ‘per- (through) + ager (field). In short, the word ‘pilgrimage’ means: journey. Therefore, a pilgrim is someone who is not at home. The inner pilgrimage is the journey taken to return home. Home is one’s true self, i.e. the (religious, cultural or social) self restored to absolute wholeness (i.e. health), therefore to perfection. In other words, the inner pilgrimage is a journey of self-transformation.

Examine your self.

Admit that you are restlessness, hence on a journey because not at home with yourself.

Determine the functions you need to perform to eliminate your restlessness, hence to come home, i.e. to be whole, perfect.

Access the functions you require for perfect self-completion and eliminate those functions that hinder your self-completion.

Integrate the necessary functions to unit (i.e. at-one-ness) status.

Self-apply the wholly unified functions set to experience your self as at home (i.e. at perfect rest).

Confirm to yourself that you have indeed come home, i.e. that the inner pilgrimage has ended.

Experience fully the sheer bliss of homecoming.

(Optional) Invite a guest to your home.

Connect with the guest to start a new inner pilgrimage.

Experience fully the sheer joy of leaving home.

Tips

• Revert to pre-adolescent self-creation procedures and restore them to current use.
• Suppress or eliminate restlessness by means of diversion, for instance, by practicing yoga.
• Or, end your inner journey by accepting wholly someone else’s true self as a perfect home.
• Where the mind rests, that becomes real.

Warnings

• The inner pilgrimage ends as a perfect virtual reality, hence as fundamentally unreal. To complete the inner pilgrimage it must be made real. Making the virtual real is the outer, the spiritual pilgrimage. The outer pilgrimage is hazardous.
• Not making the virtual real is even more hazardous.
• Activate (i.e. realise) your home (i.e. your true self) gradually lest you crash.
