I started my first class on the road to my master’s degree last week. I’m studying transpersonal psychology which takes a look at psychology and personal change through the lens of a wholeness approach to the mind, body and spirit connection. For those who’ve read the old posts, you know I’ve been intrigued by the spiritual component and how this impacts human potential for some time now.
Again, if you’re keeping up on our escapades – you probably know those who’ve embraced the concept of “magical thinking” have seen the best results. Yet, it’s intriguing, because we’ve never talked about religion, spirit, source or even dropped the G-word….until our last meeting. It was Jennifer’s words and the awkward silence that followed that still resonates with me today…”through this experience I’ve come to know God, and for that, I’m eternally grateful.”
In retrospect, maybe there wasn’t an awkward silence. Could this be my own hang-up?
After all, Brittany and Laura clearly talked about being spiritual. In our last meeting, Laura mentioned she’s realized she’s always been spiritual being, but maybe not religious, per se. Brittany – well you gotta love her – she’s never hidden the lovely esoteric side or her Buddhist beliefs. In the beginning, it made her stand out a little and somehow, talk a different language. Today, it’s as if we’ve come closer to seeing the world through her eyes.
Or, have I changed or evolved?
Something to ponder in my studies….
