This seminar was originally released as the June 2003 SAT. It has now been released into the \u201cPersonal-Use\u201d<\/i> category and is available to those not subscribed to the Soul Awareness Teachings (SAT) Series. <\/b><\/p>\n
Recorded in 1971 at a private residence in Encino, California, this early seminar finds John-Roger walking through what he describes as the rungs of the spiritual path \u2014 truth, sacrifice, faith, creativity, intellect, will, devotion, discipline, service, love, and mastery \u2014 and showing how each one builds on the last.<\/p>\n
He makes clear that the path runs in both directions, and that arriving at mastery is not a permanent achievement but a consciousness that must be actively maintained. Along the way he touches on the nature of free will, the difference between devotion and spiritual blackmail, and even makes a case for a healthy dose of jealousy in love.<\/p>\n
Straightforward and grounded, this is J-R laying out the architecture of the spiritual life in plain terms.<\/p>\n
God Bless You!<\/p>\n
