A model of Spiritual Growth

  1. Quiet the mind, i.e., quiet the voice of the ego which is characterized by fear, anxiety, blame-seeking (emphasized in Buddhism and Yoga)
  2. Open the heart or change the heart by eliminating the bitterness blocking the expression of agape (emphasized in the Gospels as the metanoia and often mistranslated as repentance)
  3. Unite the mind with the heart so all intrapsychic divisions are healed
  4. Transform your relationships, relationships understood here in the broadest sense of the word so one lives in harmony with the Universe
