Who but you knows your inner state, so who but you can change it?  – Vernon Howard

what we are

Only we can be our own masters. To be so, we must know self. Knowing self means we understand our proclivities, our insecurities and fears, our longings, our self-deception plus more! It’s a journey that must be undertaken…

awareness

Life calls us to be our own masters by throwing challenges at us. Each life situation has multiple lessons built into it. We’re on this planet to grow as children of God. Life isn’t conspiring against us; it’s providing a perfect school for our growth so that we can be masters of self!

To be real is to be spiritual.  – Vernon Howard

spirituality

We aspire to be spiritual. But what does that feel like? How can spirituality be defined? Here’s a dictionary definition:

spir·i·tu·al [ spírrichoo əl ]  

1. of soul: relating to the soul or spirit, usually in contrast to material things
2. of religion: relating to religious or sacred things rather than worldly things
3. temperamentally or intellectually akin: connected by an affinity of the mind, spirit, or temperament

be real

‘To be real is to be spiritual’! So pithy, so perfect and fit a definition of spirituality! What does being real mean though? Here’s an interpretation along a few of life’s dimensions:

• Self: See my self as I truly am. Understand my thoughts, desires and emotions along with their origin. Know my place in the Universe. Know my relationship to divinity. Learn to be happy.
• Family: Understand my duty to family. Understand relationships as they are. Help others be happy.
• Society: Know my responsibility to Life. Act on making life better for everyone.
• By being real we understand self and situations. We’re well prepared to live a happy and productive life. We are spiritual.
