“If someone comes in without having been on a spiritual path for long, he or she still will understand what is happening to them in their human lives, what is happening through the evolution, how their humanness is playing such an important role at this time, and where they are in their lives with their inner feelings. It actually gives them a support system, a base from which they can start to evolve naturally within themselves through the understanding of our humanness, of our imperfection.” IfsGivingHumansLongStillsImportantFeelingsSpiritualUnderstandingRolesSupportPathEvolutionHappeningsEvolveHuman LifeImperfectionSpiritual PathHumannessSupport SystemsInner FeelingsHumanness Is Author:Christine McCormick Day
