THREE OVERLAPPING ASPECTS OF PERSONAL PRIESTHOOD

12/6/2022

In the course of my work, I have identified three overlapping aspects of Personal Priesthood, which broadly mirror what Joseph Campbell calls the Hero’s Journey. “The Journey” is a metaphor for initiation.

Through initiation, I am referring to the process by which you learn to reduce your reliance upon the ego and increase your connection to spiritual guidance.

Below, I have outlined the overlapping areas of self mastery which are essential to Personal Priesthood. Use these guidelines as a point of reference for making yourself continuously open and receptive to greater torrents of spiritual consciousness.

This process unfolds as follows:
  1. Purification: This means that you must practice emotional integrity. Learn to use emotion as an instrument for self discovery, not a justification for sensationalism and indulgence.
  2. Restoration: This means that you must practice physical discipline. Learn to use the body to serve the mind and the mind to serve the soul.
  3. Devotion: This means you must practice spiritual focus. Learn to recognize your purpose, your cause and do not deviate. Be whatever is required to fulfill your destiny.

These areas of self mastery set up the parameters for fulfilling your destiny. Yoruba wisdom says, Our aspirations prevent misbehavior; how great we actually become is determined by how well-behaved we are. Ultimately, we act in a manner consistent with our destinies.
