1. Grace
"At some time in our lives we sense that a great misunderstanding is at work within and around us. We sense that life is driven by a transcendent, ineffable intelligence that is somehow also our own deepest nature. We realize that our suffering is not caused primarily by events but rather by our own negative habits of mind. There also comes a budding recognition that we can transform this situation by examining ourselves and finding wisdom. Whatever wisdom may be, we sense its untapped potential within us. These intuitions mark the very beginning of spiritual awakening." (p. 3)
12. Meditation
"The most well-known method for illumining the mind is meditation. Though it often takes the form of sitting down in silence for a period of time, meditation means more than this. The spiritual life is in large part a process of observing, and meditation is a focused, formalized practice of observing. As such it is a microcosm of the search for truth." (p. 87)-- submitted by Jennifer Knight
