Directives

Do not seek refuge in spiritual things, for your purpose is to give to the world.

  • Steps to Knowledge, Step 118

As you proceed, you will hear a great deal about spiritual experiences being described or discussed by others. Be discrete. Do not enter into these discussions. They are meaningless by and large. People who talk about these things do not know what they are talking about.

Long Quotes

You cannot run away to God, for you were sent into the world to serve a world in need.

That is why the Presence is not a form of intoxication. It is not a grand escape. It is not ascending far beyond, never to return.

Why would God call you back to Heaven when great effort was made to bring you into the world?

  • God’s Power & Presence in the World (April 23, 2011)

Seeking Divine contact, angelic experiences or prolonged bliss at the expense of your experience in the world is not the emphasis of the student of Knowledge. You have come here to learn to work, to give and to understand. You have not come here to dream, to fantasize or to find a way back to your Ancient Home.

Thoughts to consider

We have four pillars to balance and spirituality is one of them. However, spirituality is utilized by many as an "escape" from the world. The fruit of the Spirit does not divorce us from the world but gives us compassion and insight into greater service and effectiveness in the world.
