At the fifth branch on the Beanstalk of Spiritual Development, life becomes fulfilling through inspiration, expanded creativity in art and science, and unlimited discovery. The dominant way the few who make it to the fifth branch on the Beanstalk of Spiritual Development respond to life situations is through creativity. A sign that one may be ready to move beyond the fifth branch on the Beanstalk of Spiritual Development occurs when one begins to say, in effect: “My actions and thoughts are drawing on God’s force field and we together are creating the future.”

The branch marks the level of spiritual development where people exhibit the creative response and see God as The Creator. Here, faith is a matter of God meeting all desires.

There is a telltale prayer that shows that a devotee is spiritually developed at the level of Branch Five. That prayer is . . . “God, make me worthy of your faith.”
