| General |
 | Without a physical meeting place, how do we interact and relate?
The Internet is rapidly breaking down barriers to communication across distances. Today, e-mail is replacing much written correspondence. Instant messaging is becoming almost as effective as a telephone.
Our leading edge solution, which is still a year or two away in many locations, is video-conferencing. With high-speed Internet connections and a few hundred dollars for equipment on each computer, we have a way to interact like being in the same room.
This does not mean that we will not meet periodically for conferences and retreats. It only means that we can create a spiritual community that is not bound by three-dimensional space. |
| What if I feel I'm already self-directing my spiritual growth effectively?As long as you have a spiritual mentor that can provide you periodic objective feedback, you do not need the Center for spiritual direction. In this case, the Center can provide you with a spiritual community of like-minded and committed initiates. |
| Do I have to give up my affiliations with other organizations?
No, in fact we encourage everyone to maintain or create local relationships that can foster spiritual growth. This is why the Center chose to embrace various spiritual Path venues. The only conflict that may arise is if a local organization maintains a "ours is the only way" attitude and orientation to spiritual growth and fulfillment. |
| How do I make a decision on what Path to choose and pursue?Both the Accelerated Spiritual Growth and Crossroads Consulting Programs are designed to help you with this important decision. In addition, the Self-Directed Paths Programs are designed to provide you an introduction to each Path without a major investment of time or money.
If you're like many on the Spiritual Path, there's a good chance that you will utilize more than one Path over a period of time. In fact, utilizing two at the same time can be very effective in accelerating your growth.

| How does the Center’s spiritual mentoring differ from other New Age spiritual programs, teachers and/or therapy?Many spiritual teachers and programs are rooted in the Piscean Age orientation of guru/chela, teacher/student or savior/disciple. Although these are very effective for spiritual growth, we are now past the beginning cycles of the Aquarian Age. This is why the Center has committed to provide fully Aquarian based mentoring and programs.
Our Aquarian orientation means that each individual will maintain full responsibility for growth and life consequences as part of the Center. Our mentors will not take on the karma of the individual, even for a period of time. Nor will we gain the growth that this Piscean method has provided the savior/teacher/guru over the last 2500 years.
Self-initiating and self-directed spiritual growth is ultimately a must for every initiate. The Center has been created to provide programs and assistance for the small percentage of those who are ready for this type of growth |
| As a spiritual practitioner (minister, counselor, healer, group leader, etc.), how can I utilize the various programs of the Center as part of my practice? The Center embraces a wide variety of ways to pursue spiritual growth. By becoming an Affiliate of the Center, you not only can participate in the Center, but can also become a referral for the Center's members in your area. We encourage all to maintain local realationships to enhance spiritual support and feedback.
Further, you can become a group facilitator for one or more of the 7 spiritual Paths created by the Center. Designed for advanced spiritual growth, the Paths provide for mentoring for all along the way. In addition to your mentoring opportunity, many individuals not ready for advanced self-directed growth are ideal for a closer teacher/student relationship. You can use the structure and process of these spiritual Paths to lead, coach and counsel one or a group in your community. Many of the practices and activities on these Paths can become topics of classes and retreats.
