[QUOTE="homa_bird, post: 167903, member: 30126"] Just returned from Camino Frances in early October, wonderful. So many had Brierly's guide, and it struck me how the ubiquitousness of that guide has fundamentally changed the camino. No longer an act of faith and trust, the Brierly guide has turned the experience into a consumer product. SO many pilgrims were using the guide to shop for the best albergue, (after reading the spiritual quote for the day) call ahead and make reservations. I chose to just walk, and never had a serious problem on a very crowded camino, and learned more about what i came to learn: how to trust and keep faith; a lesson I sorely needed to integrate. So many people thought i was crazy to not shop and reserve, the pressure was tremendous. It kept me on a solitary path, which is I suppose where i needed to be. Just saying, here's a product making a lot of money off the camino, billed as a mystical guide, but actually it is a very materialistic guide that has temporarily, fundamentally changed the spirit out there. I am happy for his material success, and happy for all who truly benefit from the guide, I'm just saying i think everyone should think carefully about where the guide might actually take you, and think carefully why it is you are walking, what you are hoping to experience. Thanks for listening. [/QUOTE]
