Page 20 - 7 Steps to Spiritual Empathy Sample Book_Neat

To navigate our lives from a position of
meaning, we will need to be emotionally
available as well as mentally available.

When we consider intellectual and spiritual
concepts, if they remain a principle in thought,
rather than a lived and real experience that is
“felt”, then we create a kind of disconnect. A
disconnection between the way that we think
about our lives, and the way that we actually
experience and therefore live our lives; and this
is actually contrary to everything that empathy
is, and everything that empathy offers us, in the
enhancement of the daily quality of our lives.

I suppose in short, in order to truly thrive and to
flourish, we will need to be able to integrate
intellectual and spiritual concepts in ways that
connect to our real experience of what it is to be
fully human and fully alive; and we will need to
be able to integrate intellectual and spiritual
concepts in ways that we can consciously
manifest within the reality of our daily lives.
