Cultivating Healthy Spirituality

From Peter Savastano, Ph.D., writing in a wonderful essay on "On Being A Lamp Unto Oneself: Cultivating Healthy Spirituality" in White Crane Journal.

For approximately twenty-five years, I was a student and practitioner of astrology, even having lectured and done it on a semi-professional basis. I have long been fascinated with various forms of divination. As an anthropologist of religion, my fascination with these intricate symbolic systems continues, but I rarely if ever employ a specific form of divination in my own life any longer. Probably the most important lesson I learned from using such systems is how to more easily access my innate capacity to read and discern the movement of the spirit in my own life and in the lives of others. I have also learned that a large part of healthy spirituality, in regards to the capacity to divine the movement of the spirit for others, is to know when to speak and when to keep my mouth shut. More often, the leading of the spirit I receive about the lives of others is to keep my mouth shut, thus allowing others to work out their path to healthy spirituality in their own way and in their own time.

This is a small taste. Read the whole article. Thanks, Peter!
