SPIRITUAL LITERACY
Please check the
Glossary if you encounter an unfamiliar word.
After thirty-years of investigation and discovery,
I have isolated the single greatest source of man's inability to handle
life, himself, and his relationships with others and his environment.
That source of inability is SPIRITUAL ILLITERACY.
It must be understood that an individual is a composite
of six basic factors:
The first factor is You, the Spiritual
Being or life force.
The second factor is your intentions, dreams,
and goals.
The third factor is your vision of what you
intend to attain.
The fourth factor is your mind, the
device you use to record, store, and retrieve data.
The fifth factor is your body, the
physical object that You, the being, animates and directs to produce
the sixth factor, that factor being your outcomes;
the end result of You, your mind, your intentions, your visions, and
the application and direction of those through your body to produce
and manifest your intended creations into the physical universe.
THE COMPOSITE YOU
The composite utilization of these six factors gives
the being its self-worth and makes up its identity.
To be at cause over your life, your mind, your body, and your environment,
it is necessary to be at cause over YOURSELF, the
Spiritual Being.
When a being is illiterate in an area, that being is
ignorant of the fundamentals of the area of knowledge that is needed.
Further, that being cannot receive the data necessary to obtain the
information, as the being cannot really comprehend what is to be read
or is written, owing to its having no word or conceptual understandings
of the area. Thus the being is blocked from getting or using its abilities
in that area.
Definitions:
ILLITERACY: n. 1. The quality or condition
of being unable to read and write. 2. An error caused by, or thought
characteristic of, this condition. -- (American Heritage Dictionary)
ILLITERATE: adj. 1. Unable to read
and write. 2a. Marked by inferiority to an expected standard of familiarity
with language and literature. b. Violating prescribed standards of
speech or writing. 3. Ignorant of the fundamentals of a given art
or branch of knowledge: musically illiterate. -n. One who is illiterate.
-- (American Heritage Dictionary)
Illiteracy, or being illiterate, in an area leads to
ignorance. Ignorance causes the being to have to ignore the area.
This is extremely painful to the being and often it will substitute
something else to explain its ignoring the illiterate area, which
leads to disaster and bad consequences.
Definitions:
IGNORANCE n. The condition of being
ignorant; lack of knowledge. -- (American Heritage Dictionary)
IGNORANCE: n. 1. The unknowingness
and unawareness of the interactions and interdependence of the correct
and exact and precise correctness of spirit, game, perception, intention,
vision, plan, who, what, where, when, why, how, importance, value,
mood, responsibility, motion, and action, with inaccurately predicted
consequences, outcomes, and accomplishments of those interactions
and interdependences. It is the incorrectly evaluated, not fully owned
result of inaccurate perception. Ignorance always is demonstrated
by inability to apply and the degree of incompetence in the area.
Refusal or reluctance to apply, or a lack of application or competence
in an area means the area is not fully known.
IGNORANT adj. 1. Without education
or knowledge. 2. Exhibiting lack of education or knowledge. 3. Unaware
or uninformed. --
IGNORE tr.v. To refuse to pay attention
to; disregard. -- (American Heritage Dictionary)
As you can observe by reading the definitions above,
we end up with the opposite effect of what we want. As our goal is
all the way back to full potential, we would need to acquire a tremendous
amount of knowledge.
Trying to assimilate the knowledge blocked by illiteracy
without first handling the basic source (Spiritual Illiteracy) is
extremely destructive. Therefore, the first step on all courses
and all seminars is to fully define all words and subjects connected
to the Spiritual Being.
To do this will require several steps. This is no easy
matter, as we immediately run into the basic law of no two things
may occupy the same space at the same time.
You, the Spiritual Being, have been substituting
all sorts of things for yourself, so when the knowledge is
presented to you, it will be blocked by the previous false data or
substitution.

A SPIRIT IS A LIFE FORCE.
A LIFE FORCE IS BASICALLY SERENE.
A serene Life Force has no form or mass, does not
move, and is not locatable in space or time.
It has the ability to perceive and intend.
That is, you cannot see, feel, or touch physically, the Spirit.
You, the Spirit, are the upholder of integrity.
You, the Spirit, are the maintainer of honor.
You, the Spirit, are the intelligence.
You, the Spirit, are the evaluator of importance.
You, the Spirit, are the one that makes judgments.
You, the Spirit, are the estimator of effort.
You, the Spirit, are the standard setter.
You, the Spirit, are the expecter.
You, the Spirit, are the perceiver of truth.
You, the Spirit, are the observer.
You, the Spirit, are the creator of thought.
You, the Spirit, are the decider.
You, the Spirit, are the ultimate impeller.
For You, the Spirit, to operate
anywhere near optimum, it is necessary to be extremely honest, of
highest integrity, and to maintain high ideals, principals, and ethical
standards.
When the spiritual being violates
it's basic honesty, integrity, high ideals, principles, and ethical
standards, it experiences excruciating, unwanted feelings (pain).
This causes the being to want to forget or not want to know in the
area. This eventually leads to an unwillingness to know; then to an
inability to know; then to ignoring the area completely, then to attacking
anyone who even suggests it look into the area. This is a form of
harmful act.
Then, as it expects to be punished,
the being fears the area.
Thus, the spiritual being sets
up five ways to not handle the area:
1. Attack the area.
2. Flee from the area.
3. Avoid the area.
4. Neglect or ignore the area.
5. Cease to exist or create.
When you observe a new student
or client, you will find they have one of those five methods of handling
life that is grossly out of control.
If an individual is spiritually
illiterate, that being's awareness level will be low. Life will be
a mystery and the being's ability to be at cause over, or make things
go right in life, will be extremely limited or non-existent. Further,
due to the five methods of not handling areas, it takes a fairly skilled
consultant or coach to direct the student's or client's attention
in the area and bring him to a level of understanding.
The use of the Clean Slate Handling
Steps is vital. You will be causing a tremendous growth for anyone
when you handle their illiteracy in the spiritual areas.
