How to Nurture Spiritual Development

The question of whether there is an aim to our human life is an important one for any person. No two individuals are the same; everyone has unique qualities and talents to offer and together, these form their character and personality. At the same time, we are all members of one human race and when it is understood that at the level of our humanity we are connected with others, there is concern for the well-being of everyone. It is at this deeper level of our human existence that we are able to connect with what we both personally and communally know is really important because 'the spiritual dimension comes from our deepest humanity. It finds expression in aspirations, moral sensibility, creativity, love and friendship, response to natural and human beauty, scientific and artistic endeavour, appreciation and wonder at the natural world, intellectual achievement and physical activity, surmounting suffering and persecution, selfless love, the quest for meaning and purpose by which to live.'
