Transformation

Transformation is not meant to comfort you.  Ask Ken Wilbur. It is to dismantle you.  Jesus agrees: "Those who find their life will lose it."  The Christian seeks transformation so as to lose their life for the sake of Jesus.  It is in the bible.  It is the way they will find their life.  Given this, I suspect there are not many Cristians who seek such transformation.  Many people who take up religion want to get something, such as salvation, feeling good, or at least better in the moment.  With or without a religion, many people take up meditation to obtain something they judge positive without any loss along the away.  'More" is the operative path.  I find that one of the best paths to losing oneself is through encounter with another person.  This is honest, free of judgment, resentment, or prejudice.  You let down your guard and enter into open honesty.  The ego does not care for this.  Ego holds on.  For the ego, transformation is for losers.
