Universal truce - Spirituality
Universal Truth and what is spirituality really? As a semi retired Christian counselor 18 years in private practice total time ad ministry 31 years 21 years as a counselor altogether and I spent about 10 to 15 years, specializing in crisis and abuse. I’ve been researching it for the whole 21 years as a therapist, but I really focused between I’ll probably 10 to 12 years early. I find that a lot of people are lost and they’re searching for something and many times they’re looking for a savior and in many cases it’s another person or drugs or in some cases it’s suicide but in most cases it’s something spiritual. It’s something that’s out there something that they need to complete themselves and a lot of people will turn into Buddhism or some form of spirituality. Christianity and Judaism is being seriously rebuked and rejected, if not for some recent hated and seriously opposed in our society today. So I thought the question was proposed spirituality and I guess it was brought to my attention you know is there anybody that can teach spirituality and I thought well I’m a Christian counselor it’s not favorable these days but you know of course I’m cool to do that as a somewhat evangelical or an evangelist even and I thought let me paint with a broad progression address spirituality in first ask a question what is spirituality and maybe try to define it in a healthy way. So I thought I’d start with the philosophers, Plato, Socrates, and go to someone like Freud, whose you know Sigmund Freud was raised Jewish, but he was declared self declared an atheist, and later her name the father of psychology, and then from him, I jumped back to the church fathers and the beauty tunes from the gospel of Matthew and if I’m correct Augustine, who is one of the church leaders in the earliest church who is Roman and had some change of thinking and was known for his faith, but didn’t borrow eye on faith and works, but rather would’ve introduced faith and grace. Now, if you took a broad view, as I brought here, it reached across cultures from philosophy to psychology to faith and grace, and if you took that whole understanding of what spiritually might mean to many different people across many different cultures and by the way, I used AI to put this all together because the research that I can clean with the use of AI they have access AI has incredible access to library so I don’t even know about you know every corner of the world reaching back you know thousands of years in history, which is a wonderful tool for a great library. I have access to with the use of AI. Take all that and put it all together and then come up with them and understanding which then I can now apply to the world in which we live today and a good example of what’s happening in our society would be Minnesota right now and what’s going on there with the violence and you know they’re cold winter is kind of like their cold atmosphere in today’s news and so this presentation, this audio video gets kind of an overview was to what’s happening and maybe it’s like a summary of what I’m presenting here or a summary of what I’d like to say in a well organized presentation. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the presentation.
