What spirituality means to me? 2011/4/5 Psychosynthesis class @JFKU

Today, I took a “Psychosynthesis” class at JFKU.  The small size of this class enabled me to make good relationships with teacher and other four students.  One of the students is already my friend and she is so kind and sweet lady.  It may be no exaggeration to say that she is my first friend in America.  I really, really appreciate for her kindness.

The topics of today’s class are “What is Psychosynthesis?” and “About Roberto Assagioli.”  Unfortunately, I didn’t follow all the class conversations but I seemed to make sense key points in these topics.  If I couldn’t understand the idea or conversation and I asked my class mates or my teacher, they told me again or explained to me very kindly.  Of course, first of all, I have to improve my listening skill and speaking skill but more important thing now may be to ask someone without hesitation.

Anyway, as my blog’s title says, we wrote about “What spirituality means to you?” as personal writing late in the class.

This topic was difficult for me because I've never thought about it with seriousness.  Also, to tell you the truth, I don’t like to talk about “spirituality.”  In Japan, most of Japanese people tend to regard spirituality as religion or occult, so I don’t want people around me to think I’m a new religion member or an occultist.  For me, spirituality is to embrace other people with true love.  In my view, real spirituality houses all beings so gently…
