“I think that we all at some point are in search of something - a higher power, whatever you want to call it, the meaning of life.

However, since all of us, at some level, long for fulfillment in all aspects of our life, it is essential to understand that these two aims are not mutually exclusive.” IfsWorldLittlesLongTwoPhilosophySpiritualGoalLevelsOur LivesAchieveMaterialsEssentialsYogaAspectTraditionAimIncludingVicesFulfillmentAspireEasternExposureExclusiveVice VersaMaterial WorldAchieving Goals Author:Rod Stryker
