New Spirituality Definition:
"The 'New Spirituality' is a way of honoring our natural impulse toward the Divine without making others wrong for the way in which they are doing it." ~ Neale Donald Walsch
| The Dalai Lama, is quoted in Violence and Compassion: Conversations with the Dalai Lama, by Jean-Claude Carriere. His Eminence states, "I believe deeply that we must find, all of us together, a new spirituality. This new concept ought to be elaborated alongside the religions in such a way that all people of good will could adhere to it. We need a new concept, a lay spirituality. We ought to promote this concept with the help of scientists. It could lead us to set up what we are all looking for -- a secular morality." |

Neale Donald Walsch has a vision along with countless others who wish to create a new level of peace... a worldview of peace...
In 5 years Neale would like to see little schools all over the world teaching the New Spirituality, even if they are just in a garage where children and adults come to receive instruction in the principals of the New Spirituality.
The schools
will have three levels: |
• One
• |
| 1st
level function of the School of the New Spirituality:
For the serious
student of theology – to deeply study the new spirituality
in a comparative way by seeing and coming to deeply understand the
differences and comparisons between the New Spirituality and more
traditional, religious doctrine. Some example class topics are:
New Beliefs for the New Millennium, The Nature of Divinity, and
The Nature of God, We are All One , There is Nothing You Have to DO, We are Love, Joy & Wisdom in Human Form",The Illusions such as: Illusion of Superiority, Illusion of DisUnity, etc.
The two-fold
purpose of the school at level 1 is to provide a comprehensive,
formal education in the NS including comparative theology and other
doctrine studies.
We are currently
considering that there will be a certificate of completion, leading
towards an accredited degree.

• Two • |
| 2nd
level function of the School of the New Spirituality:
The School of
the New spirituality will serve as a local level community resource
in adult education for people who want to learn more about the New
Spirituality, in a more popular study course type of way. Some examples
of adult classes are; a course similar to Bible study, New
Spirituality and Relationships, New Spirituality and Right Livelihood,
etc.
The participants
in these courses will get a certificate of completion.

• Three • |
| 3rd
level function of the School of the New Spirituality:
The third function of the School of the New Spirituality will be for children. This "school" will be comprised of myriad local grassroots teams across the globe. Focused on child-centered, soul-honoring New Spirituality material, SNS programs will be a perfect latch key activity, providing a place for children to go and will include dialogue groups/book clubs, various classes such as dreammaking and community-building activities in after hours programs, mini-retreats, camps and vacation or Saturday FUN DAYS. These can be taught by some of the graduates of the adult programs. A "fast-track" SNS program development process is now available for current New Spirituality practitioners, leaders and teachers. Contact us for details on how to obtain a customized SNS leadership playshop in your area.
