Selfistry

Studies estimate nearly 25% of the world's population does not ascribe to any religion and roughly 25% of people in the US consider themselves "spiritual but not religious." Many of these people are searching for a life of integrity amid an increasingly polarized global landscape filled with religious extremism, political turmoil, and environmental uncertainty. Disillusioned but seeking to contribute to the well-being of the planet, many are finding guidance in emergent integrative systems that develop all aspects of the modern human: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and social. "Selfistry" is one of those systems and this book is a guide to its unique and simple approach.

"Selfistry" offers a fresh take on embodying authentic spiritual principles. It is an innovative and integrative framework for self-reflectionan opportunity for the genuinely curious to reconsider their relationship with themselves and the cosmos.

Readers will learn about the nature of the "self" as described in ancient texts as well as modern science. They will come to understand what it means to observe oneself and engage in mindfulness in daily life, as well as how to address their assumptions about the fundamental nature of existence. Orienting readers to these concepts through self-reflection allows for clarity and insight to come forth. With this embodied knowing, the path to a spiritual but not religious life emerges on its own.
