Our Journey To The Sky: A Guide To The Process Of Spiritual Formation

Our Journey to the Sky illuminates the winding path of our lives guiding the reader into a lifetime of familiar questions and answers found in the everyday world. This book challenges us to recognize the presence of intuitive wisdom operating in our daily life. Recognizing our innate wisdom leads to the realization that our very nature, our spirituality, is drawing us into the presence of Love.
Our Journey to the Sky explores our deepest desire -- union with Love -- and our often misguided efforts to attain this desire. Presented in some detail are our pervasive fears, our resistance to change, our conditioned mind, the formation of the ego, the workings of the collective ego found in society, the always present irresolvable human condition, the cause and effect of good versus evil, the influence of society on the development of spirituality, the consequence of conditional love, the mechanical process of evolution and its necessary relationship to Revelation, the emerging Self, the mystery and meaning of identity and much more.
These issues, embedded in human experience, are inter-relating and shaping the development of spiritual awareness. Their complexity, developed within a metaphorical story line, captures a reality often difficult for our linear-thinking mind to access. Metaphor interacting with prose offers a unique and clear description of spiritual formation. We will see the everyday reality of our superficial world, driven by confusing human motivation, as it engages with an inner directive moving us toward deep Self-realization.
This guide to the natural process of developing insight informs and deepens any religious tradition or spiritual path. The finalchapter draws from portions of the text offering self-exploration writing instructions for readers interested in keeping a spiritual journal.
