ISE Inquiry: Unique Self and Activism

"There is no spirituality without activism." -Diane Musho Hamilton

At a certain point in any spiritual journey, the fruit of our realization ripens on the vine and drops effortlessly back to the ground, seeding future generations with whatever degree of love, clarity, and vision we've been able to glean in our own lifetimes.  In many ways this can be seen as the pinnacle of spiritual development, the most sacred stage of our mystical maturity—reflected in Buddhism as the Tenth Ox-Herding picture or the Bodhisattva's Vow, and in Christianity as the Sacred Heart of Christ that is exercised as selfless devotion to the poor, the powerless, and the disadvantaged.  After all, what good is your own realization if it doesn't help make the world a better place?  How enlightened can you be if you can't express spontaneous kindness to a stranger at a gas station?  If your spiritual practice does not directly translate to more love, more bliss, and more freedom in the world, does it really amount to anything more than self-absorption or inert navel-gazing?  What good is Big Mind or Big Heart, if you don't also have Big Hands to carry your divinity back into the world?

Do you want to realize the unique purpose of your life? Do you want to share your unique gifts with the world? If you do, then please join us this December, over the New Year holiday, as we gather on the shore of the great Pacific Ocean to begin a historical five-year journey. This journey will help you realize that no one else alive can make the contribution to humanity that you can. The first year of Integral Spiritual Experience begins with you: The Personal Spiritual Journey, Your Unique Self.
 

Together, with an incredible list of teachers including Diane Musho Hamilton, Sally Kempton, Marc Gafni, Ken Wilber, and Jean Houston, we will take a personal, hands-on guided exploration and practice of your unique life and purpose as it manifests through your passion, talents and personal history. Come alive to your unique service by finding stillness, breaking through resistance and fear, listening to your calling, and ultimately taking full responsibility for the deep dimensions of your being and becoming.
