Personal development.
Without the mumbo jumbo.
Personal Spiritual Alignment is appealing to most of us.
It is intrinsic to the Human condition.
Sure, many wouldn’t use that catch all title, but who doesn’t want to be stress free, empowered in the workplace or comfortable in their self image?
The what now?
There is reasonable resistance to terms like Spiritual Growth. Associations we have made to that kind of talk will make many a rational person tut. After all, it’s all about tree huggers getting their inner child to find peace with their spirit animal under the guidance of some guru type who claims to be channelling a 3000 year old prophet from the planet Ogg, isn’t it?
Doesn’t it require you to exchange all you know about your universe for a belief in chakras and crystal healing and angels and the tarot? Won’t they try to convince you to swap your widescreen television for a feng shui water feature, scented candles and a black and white art print of some pebbles?
Does your inner cynic recognises itself in any or all of the above? And yet you can’t escape the belief that perhaps we have the potential to be something more than a semi intelligent mammal existing in a societal construct?
