            <title>10 Spiritually Transmitted Diseases</title>
            <link>http://spiritualpreparation.org/news.html#4</link>
            <description><![CDATA[As I have come to know hundreds of spiritual teachers and thousands of spiritual practitioners through my work and travels, I have been struck by the way in which our spiritual views, perspectives and experiences become similarly "infected" by "conceptual contaminants" -- comprising a confused and immature relationship to complex spiritual principles can seem as invisible and insidious as a sexually transmitted disease.<br /><br />The following 10 categorizations are not intended to be definitive but are offered as a tool for becoming aware of some of the most common spiritually transmitted diseases.<br /><br />Let&#8217;s start with #1 this week, April 11, 2011&#8221;¦<br /><br />1.

            <description><![CDATA[Writings by Ed Rabel - from Annotations for Lessons in Truth<br /><br />Ed Rabel was a Unity minister and former instructor in Metaphysics at Unity School of Christianity<br /><br />As one of the 12 Powers, Understanding is represented by the disciple Thomas, gold in color and located in the area of the front of the brain.<br /><br />Understanding represents a divine idea in the Mind of God.<br /><br />Understanding is absolute knowingness.<br /><br />From the attainment of spiritual understanding we gain such things as clearer insight, more serenity, new degrees of greatness, a changed tone that allows us to rie above the opinions of others and dwell in the hour that now is.<br /><br />Spiritual understanding frees a person from the belief in outer appearances for we are able to discern the meaning within all things and the Truth which "stands under" all meanings.]]></description>
