We all know what physical health looks like. Most of us now recognize emotional health. But almost no one talks about spiritual health — not religion, not perfection, but the inner condition that determines whether you grow through difficulty or get flattened by it. > > In thirty years of doing this work, I’ve found that spiritually healthy people share six fundamental desires. Not religious rules or cultural preferences — universal human longings. This series walks through each one. > > And here’s how it connects to everything else on this site: the six desires are what spiritually healthy people long for. The four capacities of spiritual intelligence are how those longings get fulfilled. Watch the series to recognize the longing. Take the assessment to see where your capacity stands.
Most of us can define physical health, and many of us now understand emotional health. But what does it mean to be spiritually healthy? Drawing on thirty years of this work, I introduce the six fundamental desires that spiritually healthy people share — universal human longings, not religious or cultural rules — and set the stage for the four factors of spiritual intelligence.
Inner peace isn’t the absence of problems — it’s something deeper, and something you can cultivate on purpose. In this episode I make the case that worry, fear, grief, and anxiety are neither natural nor harmless, and that inner peace is essential infrastructure for clear thinking, better relationships, and stable health.
Spiritually healthy people feel a deep connection to others, to nature, and to existence itself — an understanding that we are not separate. Spiritually unhealthy people feel isolated. When you can perceive what unites us beneath surface differences, it changes how you move through the world entirely.
There’s a difference between information and wisdom, between opinion and truth. Spiritually healthy people seek genuine guidance — clarity about their values and principles — so their decisions align with what they actually believe. This episode explores the sources of guidance that go deeper than rational thinking alone.
Spiritually healthy people want justice and protection for all beings — fairness, equity, and collective wellbeing rather than revenge or punishment. This episode explores divine justice: the understanding that every action carries consequences, that we each reap what we sow, and that the aim is transformation and healing rather than retribution.
You don’t have to figure this out alone, and you don’t have to start from scratch. Spiritually healthy people seek out precedents, mentors, and time-tested practices — learning from those who’ve walked the path to avoid unnecessary mistakes. This is why frameworks refined over millennia matter so much for modern conscious development.
