Differentiation of spirituality and religion
The four (4) aspects of spirituality:
- Transcendental Spirituality (See Enlightenment Course)
- Ethical Spirituality: Relationships, Governance
- Creative Spirituality: Art, Innovation, Inspiration
- Wisdom: Knowing & Understanding
How my own path has unfolded
Higher Consciousness is on the continuum of developmental psychology:
The horizons of normal consciousness:
- security, safety ("Money"),
- pleasure & comfort ("Sex"),
- rank, esteem, power ("Ego")
There's more, beyond this.
Nature only takes us so far. We must help-out for the rest!
This is called Conscious Evolution.
The next step is Mastery of Reality Creation.
Determining our "luck" and "growing" our circumstances
Dedication is required: The Great Work consists of three factors
. . .
- Dedication to facilitating one's conscious evolution
- Dedication to facilitating the evolution of consciousness of humanity
- Provide support to the community, center, group, or individual
in which or with whom one is working.
Practices and concepts every student of spirituality should know:
- Three main exercises:
- Continually challenge oneself to think and understand beyond one's
current understanding.
- Infuse one's entire being with the energy of love
- Intend one's further spiritual growth, evolution, and understanding,
etc.
- Symbols
- Prayer and meditation
- Holistic health practices and self-monitoring for health
- Vegetarianism
- Focusing
- Visualization and Intention
- Translation
- Grok consciousness-without-an-object
- Ontological Simultaneity
Some recipes:
- Tune-in, Turn-on, Drop out!
- To Know, To Dare, To Want, To Keep Silence
A Recipe for Living in Greater Grace
- Work with the idea that you create your reality through your consciousness.
- Keep yourself energized.
- Keep an aura of love within and around you.
- Know that if you are not in ecstasy, it is because ecstasy is being
obscured by a dominant form in your consciousness.
- The universe is a social situation. Therefore optimally relating
with others is a priority. Optimal relating is done by communicating
your truth authentically and with love, and keeping agreements.
- Love yourself: To love yourself means to love yourself right
now exactly the way you are. This also means loving your body: taking
care of it, pleasuring it, keeping it fit and relaxed.
- Recognize that you are one with the ultimate and so is everyone
else.
- Feel great beauty within yourself and find it everywhere
and in everyone. Know that this beauty is the spiritual essence in
all beings and things.
- Forgive yourself and forgive everyone for real or imagined
offenses. Ultimately you will have forgiven everyone. So you might
as well do so now.
- Learn to read the felt sense found in your body. It is giving
you the most direct communication from your inner essence. The felt
sense in your body is communicating: 1) awareness that simply needs to be acknowledged in order to be released,
as well as 2) orientation for your optimal wellbeing and enrichment.
- Learn to work with shadow so as to truly be master of yourself.
- What do you like most about being human? Do that!
