I’ve been doing some very popular presentations of late under the rubric of “How to Live a More Spiritual Life.” To that end, I’ve come up with “10 Power Principles of the Spiritual Life.” Take these out for a spin:


1. To gain happiness: Feel grateful and express gratitude.

2. To know peace: Get silence every day.

3. To establish order: Keep a Sabbath.

4. To feel at home in the world: Cultivate compassion for yourself and others.

5. To enjoy health: Maintain your body as if it housed a spirit.

6. To develop a positive attitude: Surround yourself with high-minded friends.

7. To abound in prosperity: Give generously and joyously.

8. To grow in wisdom: Read powerful books.

9. To achieve your dreams: Ask for what you want. Follow up on divine “nudgings.” And then let it go so the universe can work.

10. To know the Divine: Always remember who you are, and where God lives.
