Over the course of life, most people experience serious challenges, like death of a loved one, conflict within marriage, the loss of a job, an addiction, serious problems with a child, loss of life purpose, etc. When such challenges require help beyond one’s own resources, the 12 spiritual principles covered in this course open the path to outside help which solves the challenge. This is the way to deal with the difficulties one faces in a healthy and holistic way.

In this six-session course, Karl Y. will guide participants in a brief study of the twelve spiritual principles for solving any human personal problem and how the solution increases intimacy with oneself, others, and the power of help outside oneself. The twelve universal spiritual principles are generalized from the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. We will link these principles to the writing of Alfred North Whitehead in order to understand them in transreligious spiritual ways that are compatible with process-relational thought.

This course is a study of the twelve principles. To actually solve problems, people work and practice the twelve principles in daily life. Millions of people have succeeded in solving their problems through these principles. Karl, who has successfully used the principles for some 35 years, and helped hundreds of others to practice them, will share his experience. A guest who has newly begun practice will share experience. Participants in the course will have the opportunity to follow up the course with sessions for working/practicing the principles and sharing their experiences.
