Spiritual Guidance

"Why am I here? What does a life worth living look like? " "What is the higher intelligence trying to express through me?" In this time of global change and uncertainty, of spiritual indirection, Americans are asking these age-old questions with renewed curiosity. There's a thirst for meaning and purpose--a dawning realization that happiness isn't a commodity that can be bought with a gold card. Fulfillment and joy arise naturally from creative and compassionate action-- from the understanding that all life is interconnected and guided by a higher intelligence. Our personal choices make a difference, and when they are spiritually inspired even the smallest action serves a larger whole. Sacred texts ranging from the Torah to the New Testament, the Tao Te Ching to the Buddhist scriptures, the Vedantas to the Koran, speak of making life-enhancing choices where a force greater than the individual flows through us and informs our thoughts and actions. In this book we'll focus on the three classic aspects of living such a spiritually guided life: (1) "alignment: " maintaining a direct and personal connection to the Source of our Being; (2) "discernment: " distinguishing the movement of Spirit in our lives from our own wants, fears and social conditioning; and (3) "action: " making our best, most inspired contribution to the evolution of life.Borysenko, Joan is the author of 'Spiritual Guidance ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781401907761 and ISBN 1401907768.
