Spiritual Growth and Development
What about the "Spiritual" in our counseling and healing work? The transcendent element which lies beyond the commonplace experiences of everyday life? A lot of the existential questions get addressed here. Psychologists can address the "what" and the "how", but often people need to explore "why?" or "what for?". Shifting our deepest motivations from fear towards faith and love can have a profound effect on a person’s life, and the lives of everyone they touch. These are the issues which philosophers, religious texts, poets and artists have explored for eons. What is it that makes us human, and how do we move BEYOND human? Thou art That. The first step in becoming is to consciously choose the higher path. Often the requirement to experiencing the miracle is the willingness to live in awe of the infinite and the simultaneous understanding of who you truly are-- Thou art That.
