Getting Real

This book contains teachings from a seminar given in Mexico City by the author, a recognized spiritual teacher, in May 2006. Each chapter/essay covers one or more topics, both practical and esoteric, relative to daily life and spiritual practice. The author speaks about and actively demonstrates what it means to “get real,” in contrast to the illusions of what it means to be “spiritual” in this day and age.

Lee Lozowick’s words are compassionate, but often brutally honest and humorous. He confronts the notions that keep his students and listeners stuck in their impractical visions of God or enlightened life. Instead, he encourages a relationship to reality that is characterized by integrity and discipline. A chapter on money is perhaps most surprising. Lozowick touches upon various “laws” relative to money throughout the book and describes money as “the energy of possibility.”
