Does this sound like your situation?

This is for you when…

You see spiritual practice as a separate part of the day.
You expect spirituality to bring good luck, money, or the circumstances you want.
Goals for the future come into conflict with your perception of your present life.

Why watch

What will become clearer

Why the author does not treat personal, spiritual, and business development as independent processes.
How expecting benefits from spirituality becomes a subject of examination.
How questions about goals and desires connect to your perception of your own life.

From watching to applying

What to do after the lesson

Look at where you draw a boundary between spirituality and ordinary life.

Notice what result you expect from a practice or from learning.

Examine this expectation in your current activities and relationships.

A question about your own situation

What am I separating from my life when I say “spiritual development”?

The questions and actions after watching were suggested by the catalog’s editors. They are neither quotations nor the author’s original assignments.

An important distinction

A meaning to preserve

Spirituality is not presented as a tool for getting what you want. The meeting questions the very separation of spiritual development from living your life.

Check your expectations before choosing

What you should know

Not a meditation course or a promise to change your health, income, or circumstances through spirituality.

A conversation grounded in the author's worldview; spiritual explanations are not presented as scientific conclusions.

Follow the connections

What it connects with

Editorial connections between ideas: where to turn for another perspective. These are not required prerequisites.

Lesson№7Spiritual developmentReturn to knowledge of your own and everyday lived experience.Lesson№43The Spiritual World and the “Black Box” of Human LifeExamine your starting assumptions about the spiritual world and development.
