Spirituality – Your Ultimate Recourse...
Spirituality* has been defined as the quality or condition of showing great refinement and concern with the higher things in life, in contrast to material things.
Every deep thinker sooner or later comes to the conclusion that our material conditions are determined by our spiritual conceptions. So getting our attitude right inevitably results in positive change. In fact, any state of mind consistently maintained, becomes an archetypal force that builds around us a pattern which puts us at the right place at the right time to experience more of it. This is one way that the Law of Attraction works.
Did you ever wonder why Benjamin Franklin, eminent American statesman and philanthropist, spent so much energy in the cultivation of virtues? Was this not the secret foundation of his phenomenal personal success? Consider this quote:
“Build up virtue, and you master all.
When you master all, no one knows your limit.
When no one knows your limit, you can maintain a nation.
When you maintain the matrix of a nation, you can last long.
This is called making the root deep and the basis firm, the Way of long life and eternal vision.”
- TAO TE CHING
This same method of overcoming limitations through the cultivation of virtues is also recommended in other holy writ thus: “…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law…” Galatians 5:22, 23
We shall show how all the known principles of high achievement are derivatives of the “fruit of the Spirit” mentioned above, and show you how to reap a harvest of abundant happiness and fulfillment by bearing the nine “fruits”.
*Please, our discussion of spirituality refers to inner attitudes rather than religious affiliations or preferences
