Where did you get the idea that spirituality is somehow independent or transcendent of work, family, children, and the rest of your "material" life?

If you can be excited to go to work each day, and return home with a sense of fulfillment, is that not the veritable Argent Elixir? If you have a wife with whom you can share your life, and children in whom you feel pride, is it not the Red Stone?

Selfish spirituality can be far more destructive than any amount of materialism. This is not to call you selfish, but to say that you do not need to escape the mundane and retreat into your internal world,. You might find it more fulfilling and beneficial to adapt your personal genius toward making the most of what you already possess and what you can gain through that.

Genuine spiritual progress can be observed by real change in your life and outlook, and there is no special technique to do that. It is all too often that people seeking spirituality become socially distant, withdrawn from reason, and generally less-effective in all their choices, as a result of mistaking visionary or mystical experience for legitmate spiritual rewards.

i feel that path has been taking previously and i must find a different one. dont know why, just do.

thanks anyway

You are welcome.

I say this only to make clear the distinction between spirituality and escapism. I often hear people asking for spiritual work, be it rituals or meditations, when really they are just bogged down by responsibilities and need a break. As a father of three, I can sympathize, but I don't think anyone would really congradulate me for spiritual advancement if my life were to stagnate in other ways. Spirituality is intimately connected to your "mundane" life.

There used to be a cartoon circulating with an obsese man in a lawn chair staring at the TV, with the caption of "he's been like this ever since he crossed the Abyss."

On the subject of shadow-work, you might want to read the Siva-Svarodaya and other Hatha-yoga texts on the occult significance of the shadow.
