The determining factor between success and failure on the spiritual path is not technique or rituals. It is having the right attitude. Spiritual seekers sometimes become too focused on results. When those results don’t come in the hoped for time or way, discouragement sets in, and the entire quest may be abandoned. Right attitude is what empowers the truth-seeker to keep on keeping on — come what may! We will focus on a few essential ways of approaching the spiritual path — whatever path you follow — that will give you the power to persevere until the goal is reached.

We will cover the following:

Courage
We come on to the spiritual path for joy, but the way is strewn with thorns as well as roses. Every delusion has to be faced and overcome. To find God, we have to live and love heroically.

Positive thinking at all times
It isn’t enough just to affirm right attitudes. We have to re-program our whole way of perceiving life. Ego wants ease and pleasure. The soul wants freedom. Every problem has a solution because all difficulties ultimately resolve into bliss. Why waste time in suffering and worry?

Even-minded and cheerful
This is an energy universe. The determining force is the quality of our magnetism, which is determined by our thoughts and feelings. When we succumb to the downward pulling forces of agitation and pessimism, it becomes self-fulfilling prophecy. Calmness and joy brings victory over all challenges.

Question and Answer Session
Always wide-ranging, heart-opening, mind-expanding, funny, fascinating. Anything you’ve wondered about, this is a time to bring it up.

Serving the Divine in all — God Alone
Everything in creation is a manifestation of God. Even the hardest times are just Divine Mother helping us to grow, to shift our understanding of life from “What can I get?” to “What can I give?” That is the path to freedom.
