Thumotic Spirituality: Basic Practices

Some of the basic practices of Thumotic spirituality include the following:

- Mindfulness of one's own spirit and that of others
- Awareness of the current condition of one's own spirit and that of others
- Awareness of spirit to spirit connections

- Knowing in one's spirit

- Identifying one's own life-denying activities and diminishing them
- Identifying one's own life-affirming activities and developing them


NOTE: Affirming life in a life-denying culture is not a matter of 10 easy steps. There is no short cut. There's not even a map.

Little, if anything, is more challenging than diminishing life-denying habits and developing life-affirming habits.

Engaging in the challenge is an elitist endeavor that demands heroic effort. Few Westerners take it on. Fewer succeed.
