Groups that facilitate and explain the subtle experiences associated with expanding awareness are not located next door and readily available to most of the population. Metaphysical bookstores, information, instruction, and tools are often difficult to find. Thus, individuals usually must be both financially secure enough to cover travel, lodging, food, and instruction, and also free to leave their responsibilities of job and family for extended periods of time. Not many people can do this. This method, though certainly better than nothing, has some serious flaws.
Individuals grow in awareness at different rates and along different patterns.
There is another reason that many individuals have personal difficulties when seeking to expand their awareness. Metaphysics is not a topic of open conversation in most of our societal groups. This lack of openness generates a terrible sense of isolation, loneliness, and self-doubt. The School of Spiritual Integrity was formed to address these problems. I have formed a network of individuals with various skills, techniques, and perspectives who possess a selfless desire to serve humanity and to raise world consciousness wherever and whenever needed.
