The first instance of conscious Spiritual development, is becoming aware of having a 
Spiritual nature, and that this aspect of ourselves is actually the most important, and then



it is aspiring...

To be ever-mindful of the way we interact with others in our lives, making friends
with our conscience, and cultivating an awareness of our inner motives

To be mindful of how we treat the earth and all other life-forms thereon

To not condemn nor judge.

To create a greater awareness in ourselves of the Divine Plan and the
 'oneness of all things'
.
To work on those areas of our lives where forgiveness or acceptance is lacking

To look at the greater whole...the bigger picture, not just our own selfish wants.

To create a more clear and open connection with Spirit, with our guides and teachers...

To explore and nourish any spiritual gifts, particularly healing, that only the greater
good be served

To be willing to work on the aspects of ourselves that need refining, of accepting that 
there are aspects of ourselves that need refining.

To be aware and accepting of others' rights to their own path, and their right to live
their own lives in whichever way they choose, be they family, friends, or strangers

To look beyond the obvious

To maintain humility so as not to, in any way exert 'power over' others, particularly
 those in a vulnerable position.

To walk with....rather than 'above'



                       And the greatest emphasis of it all is  ~  "Aspiring to"

             Spiritual Development is after all, a life-long process, and beyond.
