“The way to maintain joy in your work life is to enjoy the process without being attached to results. This is work for its own sake more than for the rewards you may reap. Which doesn’t mean you don’t pay attention and strive to reach the career goals you’ve set; it simply means that you don’t identify those goals as your primary motivation. You are not always in control of how things turn out. If a job doesn’t work out the way you’d envisioned, you might feel like a failure and believe that your time was wasted. But if you put your heart into the process of work and recognized that your spiritual growth was in the journey itself as much as in the destination, then you’d know that no time was wasted at all. What appeared to be failure would contribute to success in the next try, and the one after that.”
- Excerpted from Change Your Aura, Change Your Life.
Our career is certainly one of the most dominant areas of our life. Many of our experiences here on Earth are related to the pursuit of our career. In the aura, there are definite spiritual energies that are directly related to our work life. A predominant energy is a white light seen in the heart chakra or Hermetic Center. This white light reflects the diverse aspects of our talents and abilities that we must draw upon in our career pursuits.
Each of us has a unique purpose when it comes to our career. We are each playing a part in the divine plan of life. When we go with the flow with our purpose, naturally our life moves in a positive direction. If we confound our career purpose, this can become an endless source of frustration and disappointment. A challenge in our career is that we do not pursue this part of our life alone. Others are part of our career life and spiritual purpose. When others make life difficult or work against the spiritual grain, it can make our life arduous. Yet, regardless of how others are acting, it’s up to us to continue to do what we know is right and true in our heart and things will work out.
I have been asked what the Higher feels about the current job climate and the millions of people who have recently lost their jobs. This is a complicated issue, but of course the divine is working diligently to turn things around. It will take time but conditions will eventually get better. The key is to continue to pursue your career with more determination than ever, regardless if you are currently working or not.
What the Higher has emphasized is that with the overextending of credit, many jobs were created based on a market that did not really exist. Now that that economy is correcting itself, many of the jobs connected to the inflated market have disappeared. Complicating conditions are those who are hording money and deliberately manipulating the market for personal gain. Yet, regardless of what is happening, the job market will correct itself because the supply and demand of jobs has not really changed, just moved around. Where some jobs are lost, others will eventually be gained.
The current situation does not change the spiritual purpose and career potential each of us has. But it does ask you to look more closely at your work life and call on all of your spiritual strength to get through this painful retunement process. The emerald green ray of balance and harmony is very important in these situations to keep your steady and patience through career challenges. The gold light is excellent to work with in your aura to bring inner strength and courage to help you do your best. Regardless of present conditions, your destiny shines as bright as ever.
In Divine Light and love,

This winter has marked the fulfillment of one of the primary goals of Spiritual Arts Institute – to establish its comprehensive teaching program. It has been the philosophy of the institute that quality spiritual instruction takes time. While you can become inspired and motivated with a weekend workshop, to see real long-term change in your spiritual development takes sustained effort. With the establishment of the Teacher Training Program, the full range of spiritual instruction is now available. Whether you are looking to make strong personal/spiritual improvement, to become a spiritual healer, or wishing to make metaphysics a career, these opportunities await you here at the institute.
Through these challenging times, the institute has held a steady course. Our student enrollment and book sales have remained strong and in some cases increased. This reflects the commitment and quality of those taking the courses as well as the enduring quality of the teachings themselves. It also reflects the fact that we have been able to keep our courses affordable. Many organizations charge considerably more for what they offer. We have done our best to keep tuition fees reasonable, but this has only been possible with donation support.
Donations are a key element of the institute’s success. We simply cannot function without steady public support. In 2008, donations accounted for 27% of our total revenue. Donation dollars go to four key areas: operational expenses of the institute, printing and maintenance costs of our existing titles, promoting of the institute and classes, and publishing new titles.
Many have been asking when the new reincarnation and karma book will be published. I am delighted to announce that the manuscript is finished but regret to say that we do not yet have the full funds needed to effectively produce, publish and promote the book. While 2008 was our best year yet in donations, we still fell considerably short of our needed fundraising goals. We are diligently working on a solution and will update you in our next newsletter.
The institute has some exciting events coming up in March. The Aura and Your Career follows the theme of this month’s newsletter. It will be at the Bodhi Tree in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 29 at 3pm. We are also offering this workshop in our next teleclass on Monday, March 30 at 6:30 pm PST. Our foundation course, Change Your Aura, Change Your Life begins April 15. This program teaches you how to work with spiritual energy and is the key to all the training offered through the institute.
While our next fund drive is not until the Fall, the institute needs steady donation support throughout the year. In 2008, approximately half our donations were given throughout the year and the other half during the fund drive itself. We have on our website a great feature where you can donate monthly. Simply click the recurring feature on the donation and that amount will be charged once a month for a long as you wish. The donation is made automatically and you can cancel at any time. Even $10 a month can help a great deal. Click here to donate.
Warmest Wishes,
Dimitri Moraitis
Executive Director
