Many thanks for sharing that. The above passage had one of those Aha
moments for me. The fact that you talk about a 'journey'. The 'journey is
the missing Psyche from the Abrahamic faith. While Buddhism seem ( if my
understanding is right) to be asking of self awareness and evaluations of
the self, the Abrahamic faith tend to rely on blind faith and instant
salvation.

just my 2 cents
