The Course in Spiritual Philosophy
An integrative program integrating the best of the Eastern and Western Thinking
Welcome to the course on Practical Philosophy. Philosophy (from Greek: φιλοσοφία, philosophia, 'love of wisdom') is the study of general and fundamental questions, such as those about…
· existence,
· reason,
· knowledge,
· values,
· mind,
· language,
· the real purpose of life
· …and the nature of spirituality.
Such questions are often posed as problems to be studied or resolved.
Philosophical methods include…
· questioning,
· critical discussion,
· rational argument,
· …and systematic presentation.
Historically, in Western countrys philosophy encompassed all bodies of knowledge and a practitioner was known as a philosopher. In the East, especially China the person with an understanding of philosophical issues was known as a Sage.
In the 19th century, the growth of modern research universities led academic philosophy and other disciplines to professionalize and specialize. Since then, various areas of investigation that were traditionally part of philosophy have become separate academic disciplines, and namely the social sciences such as psychology, sociology, and economics.
The modern division of philosophy into theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy has its origin in Ancient Greece. The one has theory for its object, and the other practice. Our concern in this course is, as the name implies Practical Philosophy.
Examples of practical philosophy subjects that is addressed in the course include:
· Ethics - The branch of knowledge that deals with moral principles.
· Aesthetics - The branch of philosophy that deals with the principles of beauty and artistic taste.
· Decision theory – How to make effective, productive, and self-aware choices
· Philosophical counseling - the use of philosophy and philosophical techniques in everyday life. This can take a number of forms including reflective practice, personal philosophical thinking, philosophical counseling, and in Life Coaching
So let’s begin exploring why this course might be for you…
Are you materially successful but spiritually confused?
Do you experience emotional emptiness or pain of longing to connect to the divine?
Are you seeking something greater than yourself?
Are you seeking that special spiritual something… inner wisdom that lets you know there is more to being human than sensory experience?
Are you an Empath? - a person who responds emotionally to physical environments, is uncomfortable in crowds, and who often feels deeply connected and tuned in to the feelings of people around you?
Do you enjoy spiritual ideas, spiritually oriented teachers, and metaphysical ideas but are uncomfortable with religious dogma?
Do you feel like you are a “stranger in a strange land.” That no one understands you. That you have landed on the wrong planet?
If the answer to any of these questions is “Yes,” then it may be time for you to consider being spiritually mentored by Lewis Harrison.
Lewis's approach is based on showing his mentees and students a path through their subjective experiences so they can find a sacred dimension in those experiences. He seeks to guide people to the "deepest values and meanings by which to live", generally in a context separate from organized religious institutions.
His work helps people connect to…
the supernatural realm beyond the ordinarily observable world,
personal growth, self-improvement,
a quest for ultimate or sacred meaning,
religious experience,
an encounter with one's own "inner dimensions",
get closer to the authentic and sacred elements of the faith they were raised in.

Lewis’ approach to spirituality is designed to help you define where you are going and provide support and answers to get there.
Lewis does not play the “Guru Game”. He views himself as a type of spirituality coach. Just as in a sports coach’s playbook, there are modules designed to address certain specific spiritual challenges, including unfounded fear, confusion, procrastination, spiritual materialism and delusionary thinking confirming what and what is not sacred. He helps people define their desired outcomes, learning the essential “life hacks” for being in the world but not of the world. The modules in this program contain all the pieces and parts that make up a go-to approach for achieving self-awareness and entering a “Awakened” state.
The program will help you to become more effective, efficient, and self-aware as you achieve greater success and create a struggle-free life.
Why is Spiritual Mentoring Important?

Spiritual Mentoring helps individuals looking to get to the next step in life, helping to develop greater and more defined skill sets. Many individuals who have achieved success personally or professionally started out with some form of a guide, coach, or mentor.
