What does it mean to be a spiritual person? Discussions/Questions (from readers of my book and in general): How would you DO spirituality? The concept of spirituality does not always have the same meaning for everyone. What do you think would be the appropriate behavior for a spiritual person? Response: Great discussion, H. I am not in any fashion a believer that one-size-fits-all, albeit, I believe that the following insights (as set forth in my new book) speak succinctly to your point at hand (associated with the ages-old traditions that I teach, coach, and practice): "If there is a Heaven, if there is a ‘key to the universe,’ if there is a ‘sixth sense,’ they are rooted in True Honesty and True Appreciation, promoting of True Happiness and True Freedom…but most importantly, needing less and less to hide behind." H.: So Glen, how then would the behavior of a spiritual person then look like? Response: If I understand you properly, H…it is that of a healthful spirit – loving, selfless, peaceful, centered, dignified…full of goodness, grace, and decency. Albeit, it is devoid, or almost devoid of any level of codependency. It is a mien in which there is a dire recognition that one of the greatest gifts on this Earth is that there is always room for improvement…with regard to deep objective insight and connecting-of-the-healthful-dots, i.e. Pattern Literacy. It is consistent with an outlook in which healthful change is benevolently embraced. It is a strong awareness that we are all much more in the same boat than is most often displayed…and deep realization of the true responsibility of supporting others in their healthful goals. It is the antithesis of the Three Portents, i.e., hate, greed, and ignorance. It is avoiding preferences for the sake of preference. It is a mien of lightness – in mind, body, and spirit. It is a mien and insight in which forgiveness for oneself and others is enjoyed…having released such unnecessary/terribly pernicious weight. It is a very deep and abiding awareness and True Appreciation of True Love…a love inclusive, yet more than just, familial, friendship, and romantic love. — Dr. Glen Hepker aglimpseofheaven-thephilosophyoftruehealth
