TheLightofSuccess:AchievementintheWorld
andtheSpiritualLifeHow to attain our earthly goals and still be happy
A workshop with
Neil Douglas-Klotz and Natalia Lapteva
October 26-29, 2017
Place: Martin dePorres Center, Columbus, Ohio Time: Thursday evening 7pm until Sunday 12 noon, Friday and Saturday evenings included. When we embark on the spiritual journey, we often put aside our more ‘mundane’ and ‘common’ desires
and purposes, or begin to consider them as being on a ‘lower plane’ altogether. However, it is important for us, as beings of flesh and emotion, to develop, tend and bring to fruition all facets of our lives. On the path of the inner life, how can we find a way to live harmoniously in the ‘real world’? If we over-focus on success, we risk being sucked into an endless round of activity—there is always more to achieve—and we can become trapped by what we have manifested. If we suppress our desire to create and achieve, the self usually reacts negatively. Down either path can lie depression and ill-health. How do we find the balance and the joy that can arise from it? We will use as tools: Dances of Universal Peace, walking and sitting meditation, Sufi wasifa and zikr, practices from world spirituality and modern psychology. Inspired by the teachings of Murshid Samuel Lewis and Hazrat Inayat Khan on “Sadhana—the Path of Attaintment.” “The love of power, wealth, status and influence are inherent in us. Our conditioned consciousness drives us towards acquiring these assets. As these ideas have no definable end, their quest will inevitably produce some discord, violence and brutality towards oneself and others. Conditioned consciousness and curbing the lower self or ego leads to potential resistance and even depression, unless it connects with the higher self and soul.” --Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri Details and registration on reverse.
