Each person possesses a unique metaphysical connection that is deeply experiential and often private, shaped by individual life circumstances, psychological makeup, and encounters with the inexplicable—what some may call (and dismiss as) magic. Openness to these connections and their public acceptance is crucial for cultivating a well-rounded spiritual or inner life. This study group takes the everyday word "spirituality" and broadens it to include the range of experiences, intuitions, insights, and déjà vu moments that constitute a daily life's consciousness. Attending to these moments, rather than ignoring them, is necessary to a well-furnished spiritual life, whatever our existing practice.
