Spiritual Engineering is a new branch of engineering that brings the principled perspective and process management techniques from all branches of engineering and applies them to everyday living.

Consider a few simple questions:

  1. Are you living an intention directed life - with your daily actions aligned with what you truly wish to create with your life energy?
  2. Do you spend any part of your day in anger, in sadness, in depression or in other (sorry to say this) non-productive states?
  3. Do you have enough money to do most of the things you want to do each week?
  4. Are you doing anything to help other people?
  5. Are you doing anything to help our environment? 

 If you answer "no" to any of these questions, then you need to look into spiritual engineering to get a better grip on your life and start moving it towards the powerful, enjoyable, rewarding and fulfilling life you deserve.

I hope you enjoy the website... I am having fun creating it.

DRAFT

Principle #1 - To be whole, we must EXPERIENCE our life AND we must UNDERSTAND our life.

  • The EXPERIENCE of our life is the sizzle... the magic... the true joy. This is because it comes from our full self, every last bit of us. The entire body, the entire mind, the heart, the soul... whatever words we choose to use. When we are in love, that is an experience. When our child is born, that is an experience
  • The UNDERSTANDING of our life is what gives us a pathway to improving our life. The logical mind gives us this. It informs us as to how the world works and how to make things better. When we suddenly realize that we should not say every thought that crosses our mind, we understand.

Principle #2 - To be whole, we must move from the self-centered-ness of childhood to the magnanimity of adulthood.

  • After birth, a young, beautiful human has no choice but to be self centered, even selfish. That young person has no understanding the the world, few experiences, and no capability to do much of anything to maintain even their life.
  • As a person matures over time, a process that is NOT guaranteed (so an individual may well be a 30 year old child instead of an adult), the interconnectedness of life becomes apparent. We need each other. This need is very real, especially today, for how few among us could even feed ourselves or get water if the infrastructure of civilization were to decay away.

Principle #3 - To be whole, we must come to understand the nature of projection in our life and work to remove it completely.

  • Projection is the process of seeing the unhealed parts of ourselves in other people. For example, if someone was yelled at frequently for having a messy room when they were young, they might grow up and yell at those around them for having a messy room.

Principle #4 - To be whole, we must be gracious about male / female differences.

  • The physiology of male and female humans affects so much of our human life.
