Spiritual Formation:
What is it?
-Eric Shaw
“We live from our heart. The part of us that drives
and organizes our life is not the physical. This remains true
even if we deny it. You have a spirit within you and it has
been formed. It has taken on a specific character. I have
a spirit and it has been formed. This is true of everyone.
The human spirit is an inescapable, fundamental aspect of
every human being; and it takes on whichever character it
has from the experiences and the choices that we have lived
through or made in our past. That is what it means for it
to be ‘formed.’ Our life and how we find the world
now and in the future is, almost totally, a simple result
of what we have become in the depths of our being - in our
spirit, will, or heart. From there we see our world and interpret
reality. From there we make our choices, break forth into
action, try to change our world” (Dallas Willard).
What practices in life can change our heart from which “flow
the springs of life” in each of us?
