Spirituality in a Fractured World

At the heart of the global conflicts, polarization, and social upheaval we face today are personal conflicts that mask a deeper existential issue – our separation from our true nature. The greatest pain we experience, whether consciously or unconsciously, is this separation from the spiritual realm, from the part of us that is eternal and unified.

This disconnection is an out-of-touchness with what is most real within us and leads to a fundamental sense of insecurity. This insecurity makes all the other pains and frustrations of life surface with greater intensity, as we are seeing with the pervasive negativity and discord.

How do we grow as human beings to stay in touch with what’s most real and resolve this internal fracture? What impact does this inner development and maturation have on how we meet our fractured world?

To move towards wholeness within ourselves and in an optimizing direction for everyone, we need to start with our own consciousness. To be a spiritually mature human being in the world, we need to open up the layers of our own inner conflicts and the sources of our disconnection.

As these layers unfold and we reunite with our deepest nature, we come to recognize that there is a loving intelligence guiding our transformation–a fundamentally creative energy, a truly optimizing force, that includes and transcends all of the inner and outer turmoil.

This reunion allows us to embody the confidence and maturity we need to navigate a world full of beauty and challenges. Rather than reacting to the world from a place of insecurity, we can live from the groundedness, luminosity, goodness, and mystery that is our deepest nature in our daily interactions, even in the face of differing viewpoints and global discord.

To move towards unification within ourselves and in an optimizing direction for everyone, we need to start with our own consciousness. In this course, we will receive expert guidance as we embark on this essential journey with a global community of sincere spiritual explorers. Together, we will learn practices to resolve our inner conflicts, heal divisiveness, and move beyond polarization to more fully meet the world in loving, intelligent, and productive ways.
