What is important to you, right now, for your spiritual journey? What are the lessons that life is presenting to you in this moment that you need to be aware of, open your eyes to, and embrace? Consider this and let this larger context completely change how you are relating to what is happening now in your life.ĭuring the second day, during a deep meditation practice with all the participants, I could actually feel the silence pressing on my body. How do you connect to the divine? What are the particular ways, personal to you, in which you feel connected to spirit, to a higher order? Consider this and bring it more clearly into your daily life? Here is a powerful pair of questions you can ask yourself, to guide your awareness towards answers within you that can give new meaning and new direction to your spiritual life: Feeling part of a bigger whole, feeling connected totally enhances our spirit and gives us meaning.

Being open in our heart center to receive affection and to give love. An open heart, having our hearts as a reference point.Here are 7 distinct shared elements that I found all spiritualties uphold universally: What deeply committed individuals are in this world! What profound strength of spirit and heart do exist in people, regardless of culture and race! What a joy it is to feel safe, encouraged, and honored as a human being! I brought back from the conference hope, optimism and resolve. Hosted by The Center for Unity, one of the longest successfully active spiritual communities in the world, and put together piece by piece over the past two years, it brought together twelve elders from different traditions around the world, such as a Maya Priestess from Mexico, a Qi Going master from China, a decades long Peace Envoy from the U.N, a 92 year old human rights leader from Ghana and a Sufi sacred musician from Iran, together with over one hundred leaders with decades of personal practice in peace and spirituality, for a sharing, discussion and inner silence practice experiment on the question of: What can be fundamental common elements of an Universal Spirituality?

I have just returned from a one of a kind conference in Brienz, Switzerland, called ‘Universal Spirituality’. This question brought me back an incredible landscape of what is coming to us, a Wow! moment that I am so excited to share with you. Over the past thirty days, I immersed myself in two almost back to back conferences that, coming from completely different contexts and styles, gave me each the information and the experience of what this can be. Where are we going? What is happening to our human species? What are our options moving forward? An evolutionary question has been with me over this past month:

My teacher, Carlos Castaneda, called this intending. What comes to us, what life shows us, is defined by the questions we ask, and most often, the best way to boost our learning is to ask better questions life indeed talks to us back by what kinds of things we ask. Life on the planet is on the hot seat, beckoning us to get in, get on and get engaged. This is not the time to sit on the sidelines, to be a passive traveler of life. Today, we are in a time that calls for a jump, for a rapid change, not just because we can but because we must. This is an exciting moment for us as human beings.
