Branch Seven
​

picture-life-coach-don-pierce-saying-Climb to the seventh branch of the Beanstalk of Spiritual Development
Picture ocean and clouds quote The seventh branch of Beanstalk of Spiritual Development is typically only experienced as temporary peak experiences, just long enough to achieve a momentary but profound glimpse of wholeness and unity with the divine.
Picture coastline quote Unbounded unity is the experience that tells the pilgrim on a spiritual development path that one is, at least, peaking over the threshold of the highest stage. When one is on the seventh branch of the Beanstalk of Spiritual Development one’s indicative responses are of sacredness and one’s fall-back emotion is compassion
Picture beach with tide quote The tell-tale sign that one has achieved the last level of spiritual development may come as a fleeting impression that there is no difference between you and God
Picture communing with nature quote To stand solidly on the seventh branch of the Beanstalk of Spiritual Development, commune with nature* and then describe: how you are the Source; the role of transcendence in your life; ways that you seek to be yourself; how unity works in your life; and how you live without temptation.
