Spiritual discernment is the process of determining the truth and validity of a (usually spiritual) idea, archetype, image, or statement.&lt;/blockquote&gt; <br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> <br /> Discernment is a mental and emotional practice that draws on the full facilities of the [[Physical Unit]]. In particular, both left and right brain functions are implicated in a successful discernment process. The quality of discernment is a function of the health of the physical unit, the balanced development of the brain (i.e. left and right hemispheres), education, instruction in technique, and practice. <br /> <br /> Because of the fragmented and antagonistic nature of reality on this earth, it is important to develop the critical skill of discernment, especially when dealing with topics of a spiritual, political, economic, or social nature. Properly discerning Truth from fiction, lie, and intentional attempts to deceive can make the difference between successful spiritual awakening and death.<br /> <br /> When it comes to spirituality and spiritual truths, individuals may use [[Discernment Red Flags]] to help identify valid from invalid [[Information Stream|information streams]], and [[Authentic Spirituality|authentic]] from inauthentic spirituality. <br /> <br /> Discernment is an important topic and discussions of its importance appear in spiritual monologue and dialogue throughout recorded history. For example, the [[Vivekachudamani]] of [[Adi Shankara]] is an 8th-century Hindu poem that provides an extended, of somewhat laborious, discourse on the significance and practice of discernment.<br /> <br /> {{endstuff}}<br /> <br /> [[category:RSGDISCERNMENT]]<br /> [[category:lightningpath]]<br /> [[category:terms]]</div>
