Your world needs this practical spirituality.  You do not have to practice it in a church, though the wonderful nature of a church and a congregation or parish is that it provides you with a stable infrastructure of fellowship, which is so necessary during personal, social and global catastrophes.  You have a support group.  Many of you who are alone, who are spiritually evolved, oftentimes are socially immature, so that when crises come, you have difficulty surviving by yourself.  This is quite natural and quite normal.  Do not be surprised if this occurs in you—even those of you who are vastly spiritually evolved, for there is a need for support from others, who have shared the same calamities that you have, that you are now going through.

This concludes my lesson for today.  If you have questions regarding it, and I hope there are many questions, as I have offered you many nuances on which to ask; I would be glad to answer them now or in the future.  If there are questions now, please present them.

Vicki:  Thank you, Monjoronson. You talked about the fact that practical spirituality precedes stillness, and it reminds me of many hours recently, when I have been in the emotional turmoil of grief.  How does one respond to or cope with that, prior to stillness, so that he/she is capable of going into a stillness session?
