YOU CAN TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE BY TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Most religions are poorly equipped to teach much spirituality! This is not news to the many frustrated seekers in our society who yearn for more than just religious doctrine. It is a rare religious institution that focuses purely on spirituality, and even then may not teach the practical applications of spirituality. A great many people do not need a religion to live spiritually, because the average person CAN BE TRUSTED to be able to learn spirituality, make practical application of it to everyday life, and to be conscientious and responsible about it.

PRACTICAL SPIRITUALITY? GIVE ME SOME EXAMPLES

Being able to care, without being a worrier. Have 10 'hits' of Joy, every day. How about 5 'moments' of real PEACE,every day. Have your intuition turned on, available, and reliable, most of the time. Perform your tasks quickly, without being in a hurry. Be more decisive. Respect that 'loss' and 'harm' and 'shortage' may impact you life, yet be not afraid of them. A "yes" answer to all of these, and more, is the natural outcome of growing your spirituality. But YOUR spirituality must be grown with YOUR style, in a sequence that is right for YOU, and with disciplines that YOU invent, and make sense for YOU. If it not in YOUR style, it becomes a religion, someone else`s religion.   If there were a way for you to experience Peace, Joy, Intuition, Caring Fearlessly, and more, every hour of your life, would you be interested? Good News! You can! Yet, it seems that a few foundational TOOLS are in order, to put spirituality into perspective, and to help in developing and maintaining focus( not to mention speeding up the process). Then after learning these TOOLS, you can be independant of religion, if you choose. Evelyn has finished the course, and she says, "I find that using these TOOLS helps me nourish and maintain my spiritual consciousness. Now, these TOOLS are internally available to me, anytime, even when I catch myself being out of balance, which is becoming less and less". Evelyn Jacobs-Madrid, RN Coordinator Parish Nurse Program   The following five (6) simple, though not necessarily easy, TOOLS, have been gleaned from years of spiritual learning, and from the efforts to distill spiritual understanding down to its practical, simple, essence. Master these and you will be enlightened! These TOOLS have been taught to individuals and small groups over many years, while the delivery of the concepts themselves were refined. Here is what Dr. Barbara Caldwell had to say about her experience. "I was raised in a religious environment that praised and accepted those that performed the 'right' behaviors, regardless of what not-so-good thoughts they might have had. I felt 'not spiritual enough', because my behavior did not fully conform, even though my thoughts were 'OK'. After learning and applying the TOOLS, I have discovered that I am a lot more spiritual than I thought. My intuition, peace, and joy are better than ever. Most significant was when my nurse practitioner said, "What are you doing different? You`re a lot happier, now." She`s right! That was two years ago, and I continue to, not only maintain my gains, but to make new ones." Barbara Caldwell, M D Family Practice

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE TOOLS

TOOL#1: Building A Thought Monitor. Many spiritual disciplines throughtout the ages have hinted at this, but without specifics. This TOOL has specifics, and is practical in daily life. TOOL#2: Challenge The Idea. Much of our programming has made it virtually impossible to get rid of unwanted attitudes, emotions, and feelings. Until now. TOOL#3: Principles And Ideals. Most inner turmoil comes from having conflicting principles and ideals. Separate them into two categories and make sense of them. TOOL#4: The Three O`s. Simplify perception, and un-do distortions. TOOL#5: Meaning And Purpose And BEHAVIOR. Now that you have gotten rid of 'stuff', what do you put in its place? TOOL#6: THE ULTIMATE TOOL The ultimate tool is a decision.   All of these TOOLS have recommendations of daily practice. TOOLS #1 and #6, would be best done first and last, respectively, while the other four can be done in any order you prefer. Some individuals will integrate a given TOOL into their life quickly and easily, while another TOOL might take a long time and be viewed as quite difficult. No two people will have the same experience. So, learn, integrate, grow, and assimilate these TOOLS, these CONCEPTS, with your own style, pace, and sequencing. Barry Morris had this to say. "I had become aware of my spirituality before I encountered the TOOLS, and had slowly progressed in my learning over about 20 years, but had come to a lull, where things were just 'OK', but not advancing." "About three years ago, I began using the TOOLS, and right from the first day of using TOOL #1, I could see the benefits. I no longer fought myself, I got things done faster, more peacefully, more joyfully, and more decisively. I even stopped being afraid of losing my job. I continue to see improvements in my relationships, my intuition, and my insightfullness." Barry Morris Quality Control Aerospace
