			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We intend to encourage the students spiritual growth in the courses we have presented. Please take some time out to explore the themes and topics of this blog site as a means to counter the lack of vocationally directed spiritual growth.</p>
<p>The religious nature of our collective growth as human beings demands that we consider more creative approaches  to the healing of the human spirit.</p>
<p>Thank you for your consideration  of these courses as a means to become more human in the quest for spiritual growth.</p>
<p>&#8220;To thine own self be true&#8221;</p>

<p>Consider that we all are spiritual beings on a journey to learn more about the nature of our purpose. Those of us who are captivated by the lure of material existence struggle simply have lost the ability to see beyond the things that they have acquired and accept the more profound concept of existence  in service to all life everywhere.</p>
<p>This attitude resists attempts to grow beyond the selfish nature of mankind into a more spiritual and profound relationship with</p>
<p>the giver of all  life.</p>
<p>Part of the this journey is to out grow material value.</p>
<p><strong>It will be a long and difficult journey for  humanity!<br />
