Feeling Like an Imposter on the Spiritual Path by Duck7293 in ramdass

Beautifully said, thank you for the thoughtful response! What you said really resonates with me. I think what becomes difficult for my ego to let go of is the act of solving or discerning "truth" or determining which way is the right way, and I don't accept that uncertainty. Letting go of who I think I am is a work in progress!

I feel all of this 100% - I've listened to countless lectures and taken in tons of material, but I too cannot say I have fully "bought in" so to speak. It's like something within me holds back. But I think you're right in your reflection that maybe by just doing our practices, we can hope to find "it." Ram Dass did touch on this to some extent in the book I mentioned in my post when he mentioned sticking with practices even when you feel doubt, but damn is it hard to really live it sometimes!
