"How can one be a seeker, a person on a spiritual path, in the hustle-bustle of life in 20th-century America? I think many of us tend to think of a spiritual path as being somehow separate from our daily life. Yet I believe that we can learn as much about ourselves by confronting the issue of "Who takes out the garbage" as we can in an entire month of doing intensive yoga."
"The Couple's Journey: Intimacy as a Path to Wholeness (Impact Publishers, 1980) is a recent book which offers some fascinating perspectives on how intimate personal relationships provide a vehicle for inner growth. To its author, Susan Campbell, Ph.D., the development of intimacy has more significance than just being pleasant or exciting. Rather, the couple's journey is to her an important way of learning about oneself, and making the abstract idea of "uniting with all life" a concrete reality."
Spiritual seeking can be pursued amid the hustle of everyday life rather than apart from it. Confronting mundane issues like household tasks reveals insights into the self comparable to intensive yoga practice. Intimate personal relationships function as vehicles for inner growth and concretize the abstract aim of uniting with all life. The development of intimacy offers significance beyond pleasure by promoting self-understanding and transformative learning. Insights drawn from counseling and lived experience clarify the processes by which men and women achieve deeper intimacy. Institutes and programs examine conscious evolution through research and education aimed at individual, institutional, and planetary change.
