An Introduction to Incarnational Spirituality

by David Spangler

This is David Spangler's newest introduction to Incarnational Spirituality a term he uses to describe his approach to spirituality. Since 1965, David Spangler has worked clairvoyantly and intuitively with a group of non-physical beings from the inner worlds of spirit. They identified themselves as being part of an inner school whose purpose was to explore and develop a spiritual teaching around the process of incarnation. This teaching is intended to empower incarnate persons living in the physical world-individuals such as you and me-to lead lives of greater blessing and capacity and to be sources of blessing and service for the world as a whole. From 1970-1973, David was a co-director of the Findhorn Foundation Community in Northern Scotland. In 1974 he co-founded the Lorian Association, a non-profit spiritual educational organization, and continues to work with it today. David is also a Fellow of the Lindisfarne Association, a gathering of scientists, mathematicians, artists, spiritual and religious teachers, ecologists, and political scientists, all interested in promoting a new culture based on holistic and Gaian values.

David Spangler makes spirituality accessible to everyday life experience. As science gets ever closer to spirituality, and the theory of everything looks like Paul Tillich's "The ground of All Being," Spangler gives simple exercises to connect to all there is. He speaks in a language composed of the recognizeably everyday -- home, family and friends. His exercises can be done in the silence of a room or at the Mall with people buzzing all around. He has a gift for creating a feeling of peace and love, just in the way he writes.

Spirituality without one's personal integrity cannot be called spirituality

As far as I know, Incarnational Spirituality has been an experiment, and I can feel in it that optimism, kindness, and ambitions of a bit younger version of David Spangler. And if it helped him and his students to live a more meaningful and content life - it is great and good for them. On the other hand, ‘only time will tell’ if there is viability and a lasting benefit in certain concepts or teachings. In this particular case, I am afraid the time is already revealing some serious difficulties. Even David himself is not able to live up to the principles of this teaching and to be honest with his students and followers. What used to be genuine views from his non-physical colleagues have become in the last few years made-up messages to create content for his journals or to keep his image of being a “spokesperson for the subtle worlds” as he calls it in one of his video-talks.

Can someone who is willing to use lies for attention and personal gain teach others about spirituality?
