13 Principles Of Spiritual Direction

J.R.’s 13 Principles Of Spiritual Direction

  1. God is love.

  2. Every human heart longs to be loved.

  3. We must learn to love, both give and receive.

  4. The heart is designed to break.

  5. Ego and Fear are absent of love and divinity. They are best friends, not your friends.  

  6. Humans are aware of their “stuff.” Our relationships with God, community and self is predicated on how willing we are to spiritually transform said “stuff” 

  7. Vulnerability is the key to spiritual transformation

  8. Sorrow and Joy by themselves will not lead to spiritual transformation but force the hand of willingness for change. 

  9. People, places and things will not make you happy. 

  10. You can not “believe” alone.

  11. Faith will evolve or die.

  12. Wisdom is the applied science of spiritual direction. 

  13. Spiritual maturity is the absence of duality, undefended with nothing to prove and nothing to lose.
