Seminars and Workshops
Programs by Jim Young vary from one or two hour presentations to day-long and weekend seminars and workshops. In each case, the program is based on one or more of Jim’s books, found in The Spiritual Awareness Series listing, which follows. Shorter presentations engage participants in the general spiritual principles and basic information contained in these sources. Longer programs involve participants on a more extensive basis, where they will not only develop new insights into living spiritually but also develop skills and understandings necessary for a life more fully attuned to spiritual expression. A brief explanation of such programs follows:
FIVE POWERFUL PRINCIPLES FOR LIVING SPIRITUALLY, is taken from Book VIII of this series, and leads participants to understand the depth and breadth of beliefs and opinions which cloud the spiritual view from daily life. Based on this clear understanding, they are then lead to those deeper understandings that release one’s Truth into view, so they can then live in spiritual freedom.
REAL LIFE LEADERSHIP, taken from Book IX, presents a view of leadership that begins with an examination of how one is guided through life. The inextricable link between following and leading is examined, which places leadership at the fore of each day’s demonstration for one and all. Leadership thus takes on a very practical application of spiritual principle to the expression of Truth that speaks in the silence found within.
EXPRESSING YOUR DIVINITY IN EVERYDAY LIFE. Using the essential ingredients of Books I and II, this program unveils the shadows of the ego-centric life so participants can come to understand the spiritual essence of being. Moving from a simple explanation of the source of daily burden to the essential ingredients for seeing beyond such matters, participants are led to develop basic understandings and tools for moving beyond their current limitations.
WEAVING A NEW LIFE FROM THE THREADS OF TRUTH FOUND WITHIN uses the contents of Books III and IV of this series for its content. The longer program invites participants to seeing life as metaphor, the purpose of which is to inform them of their spiritual relationship with life itself. Using the metaphorical translation of Biblical text as the foundation for spiritual meaning, participants should be able to reform their approach to life in ways that illumine their path to a fruitful spiritual demonstration on a daily basis.
WHAT IF? is from the book by the same title, a compelling way to perceive life that leads us “out of the box” of limited, earthly thought. Moving from one’s current base of understanding to a wider and deeper view of life, participants learn to shift a more mechanical, unconscious means of functioning to a firm commitment of life’s real intention.
AS IF FROM GOD, is based on Book X of this series, and focuses on a method of prayer that releases both the participants and God from a commanding response to individual desire. Based on daily practice of spiritual intent, participants are able to move away from seeking one’s desires from some outward authority, to hearing both the prayer and answer delivered in silence, the language God speaks. This is a very pragmatic prayer method based on getting out of one’s own way, thus clearing the path for spiritual deliverance.
FROM HUMAN DOING TO SPIRITUAL BEING, Reclaiming One’s Soul. This activity is based on an e-book by the same title, found at www.creationspirit.net. Participants are lead in a step-by-step fashion to go beyond current views of self to the essential ingredients of spiritual reality. This program requires at least a day-long workshop in order to treat the spiritually penetrating exercises properly. Once mastered, participants should be able to move beyond self-limiting expressions to those that inspire by the depth and breadth of inner power conveyed through daily demonstration.
