Spiritual Direction differs from other helping professions because it takes people from “normal” living to Kingdom living by helping them recognize the Spirit’s leading. The trajectory of spiritual direction for the directee is practiced or lived Christlikeness through paying attention to the Holy Spirit’s leading.   Gary Moon says, “For the most part, spiritual directors work with individuals who are already living close to the middle of the normal curve, but desire to become abnormal—abnormally loving, peaceful, joyful, abnormally aware of God, and his loving presence. In spiritual direction, the goal is to accompany directees on a journey toward normal kingdom living—far from the center of the world’s normal curve.” Spiritual Direction and the Care of Souls by Gary W. Moon and David G. Benner (p 23)
