#7
Consider and briefly answer the following questions, best reflecting your present point of view:
1. Describe the last time you participated in the arts—like attending a play or concert, visiting an art museum, or reading a true literary treasure.
2. Describe your knowledge and sensitivity to cultural things— also how you feel about your current level of understanding?
3. How would showing more interest in the arts improve your quality of life and that of your loved ones?
Modern culture provides a wide range of remarkable accomplishments in the arts. Increase your quality of life by taking advantage of opportunities to enjoy them.
“Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens.”

7 Spirituality
Recently the World Health Organization defined human spirituality as “that which is in total harmony with the perceptual and non-perceptual environment.” In today’s world of technical enlightenment and secular insight, spirituality takes many forms. Definitions typically include aspects of higher consciousness, self-reliance, self-actualization, love, faith, enlightenment, self-sacrifice, community, and bonding, as well as many others.
Spirituality encourages you to look for sources of inspiration and power outside yourself for comfort, guidance, and refreshment from the many challenges of life. The concept of spirituality separates the human race from all other creatures. Cultures throughout history have a deep rooted belief in the human “soul,” and view it as an integration of your body, mind, and spirit. It’s a gift to accompany you through life, a living consciousness of a divine-like presence within us and around us.
