Double Vision
~ A Universal Tributes Course ~
I see the external reality of a situation as well as seeing beyond it to the personal lessons, inner strength, and spiritual essence of myself
and others.
PURPOSE
To support individuals as they learn to simultaneously see the reality of a situation and its deeper spiritual meaning.
BENEFITS
To create a safe place, the server applies double vision, acknowledging the present situation while seeing
beyond it.
- To see the facts of a situation while simultaneously seeing the “bigger picture.”
- To practice seeking the spiritual essence within challenges
- To work with your own inner state while respecting others’ right to make their own choices
- To experience responding from healthy beliefs, attitudes, speech, and actions
MAKING THE DECISION
Do you wish to see yourself and others through the eyes of “spiritual essence”? Would you like to respond rather than react to the behavior or words of others? Are you seeking a way to respond to a loved one who is making poor life choices? Would you like to make choices that support living your life fully and completely in a world of constant challenge and change?
Carefully read and consider the Universal Tributes Courses introductory page. Ask yourself if now is the time to devote yourself to beginning (or deepening) your spiritual journey using the psychological-spiritual tool of the ten Universal Tributes.
