INTERSPIRITUAL MEDITATION -- 15

+ This is the thirteenth post on Step One of InterSpiritual Meditation: MAY WE BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY

Many persons have a wrong idea of 

what constitutes true happiness. 

It is not attained through self-gratification 

but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

-- Helen Keller

+ This is such powerful wisdom from a great teacher who overcame physical limitations which most of us would not be able to overcome. But forget the teacher for now and concentrate on the message. This is one of those teachings which gets to the heart of what Step One is all about. Take a moment right now. Pause. See if you can become more deeply aware of a worthy purpose in your life and renew your commitment to it.

+ This is a series of posts on InterSpiritual Meditation: A Seven Step Process created by Dr. Edward Bastian. I am an InterSpiritual Mentor certified by SpiritualPaths Institute which Ed established. In these posts I will offer reflections of mine and others on each of the steps which are:

1. Motivation: “May we be Happy and Healthy.”
2. Gratitude: “May we be Grateful for Life’s Many Gifts.”
3. Transformation: “May we be Transformed into Our Highest Being.”
4. Compassion: “May we be Loving and Compassionate.”
5. Mindfulness: “May we be Mindful through Our Breathing.”
6. Wisdom: “May we Become Wise through our Meditation.”
7. Service: “May we be in Service to All.”

+ I invite you to purchase and read Ed's wonderful books including InterSpiritual Meditation: A Seven Step Process Drawn from the World’s Spiritual Traditions and Mandala: Creating an Authentic Spiritual Path -- An InterSpiritual Process.

+ I invite you to consider taking a comprehensive e-course on InterSpiritual Meditation offered by Spiritual Paths.net.  The course is always available but periodically it is taught via Zoom by Ed and other teachers as an 8-week course with group participation. 

+ I invite you to join The New Faith for the New Earth Facebook Group where I and group members post and comment on InterSpiritual Wisdom & Practices and other topics.
