Intuisie en Onderskeidingsvermoë

Onderskeiding is ’n woord wat deesdae gereeld gebruik word. “Gebruik jou onderskeidingsvermoë,” moedig mense aan. Maar wat beteken onderskeiding, en hoekom is dit so belangrik?

Oud-spirituele tradisies beskou onderskeiding as ’n gevorderde geestelike kwaliteit. In Sanskriet word geestelike onderskeiding beskou as die “kroonwysheid” op iemand se geestelike pad. Volgens die Indiese wyse Patanjali help geestelike onderskeiding ’n mens om ’n “stralende toestand” te bereik, ook bekend as geestelike verligting of heelheid.

Die woord onderskeiding kom van die Griekse woord diakrisis wat verskeie idees inhou: om te sien, oorweeg, ondersoek, verstaan, hoor en noukeurig te oordeel. Kortliks, onderskeiding is die vermoë om te bepaal wat waar en onwaar is, en wat werklik versus nie-werklik is.

Onderskeiding is individueel. Wat reg of waar voel vir een persoon, is nie noodwendig ’n absolute waarheid vir ’n ander nie. Sommige situasies is maklik en duidelik om te onderskei, terwyl ander moeilik is. Wanneer ons ander se gedagtes en opinies oorweeg, kan dit moeilik wees om absolute waarhede te bepaal. As daar bedrog betrokke is, kan dit selfs baie moeilik wees om die waarheid te onderskei.

Wat is die Maandelikse Geestelike Onderwerpe (MGO)?

We create new spiritual topics each month. Coordinators use these topics to facilitate discussions to give members the opportunity to talk about real-life situations and to share insights, ideas and strategies. The spiritual topics are posted on CC’s internal social connecting platform where members from around the world engage in conversation and share personal thoughts. These topics are designed to give points of discussion around self-awareness and spiritual development to enable and empower each of us to become the best version of who we are!

Aims of the MSTs

We are all on a unique journey to grow and find greater meaning, purpose, and joy in life. To do this entails a deep focus on one’s inner self. As 13th-century Persian poet, Rumi, stated, “Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.”

To this end, the Monthly Spiritual Topics are designed to help members:

  • Know themselves better (self-realisation)
  • Verbind met hulle innerlike wysheid
  • Ontwikkel bewuste fokus en bedoeling.
  • Leef vanuit ’n hartgesentreerde ruimte.
  • Express compassion and be in service to everyone
  • Align with their Higher/Divine Self
  • Manifest positive change for themselves and the collective

Objectives of the MSTs

The Monthly Spiritual Topic process was created to serve two primary objectives: To offer spiritual dialogue and education for members and to provide Coordinators with relevant topic materials to facilitate engaging member discussions. This saves time for Coordinators who no longer need to search for topics and find materials to present. It also gives Coordinators the opportunity to further develop their facilitation skills.
