Monthly Spiritual Topics

Connecting Consciousness Monthly Spiritual Topics

Overview

We create new monthly spiritual topics each month. Coordinators use these topics to facilitate discussions to give members the opportunity to talk about real-life situations and to share insights, ideas and strategies. The spiritual topics are also posted on CC’s internal social connecting platform where members from around the world engage in conversation and share personal thoughts. These topics are designed to give points of discussion around self-awareness and spiritual development to enable and empower each of us to become the best version of who we are!

Objectives

The Monthly Spiritual Topic process was created to serve two primary objectives: To offer spiritual dialogue and education for members and to provide Coordinators with relevant topic materials to facilitate engaging member discussions. This saves time for Coordinators who no longer need to search for topics and find materials to present. It also gives Coordinators the opportunity to further develop their facilitation skills.

Aims

We are all on a unique journey to grow and find greater meaning, purpose, and joy in life. To do this entails a deep focus on one’s inner self. As 13th-century Persian poet, Rumi, stated, “Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.”

To this end, the Monthly Spiritual Topics are designed to help members:

Access their own inner knowledge and inner authority,
Understand their spirituality,
Recognize, acknowledge, and heal their shadow side,
Heal inner wounds,
Develop their sovereignty,
Apply knowledge learned for their highest and greatest good,
Become more understanding and compassionate,
More easily handle challenges and disasters, and move through life with ease and grace (despite the outer environment).

Topic: The Authentic Self, the Ego & Identity

Months: September 2025

People often ask the question, “What do you do for a living?” as if this is who you are. This kind of question encourages us to equate our profession with our identity, even though this is just one aspect of ourselves in this current lifetime.

In the past, identifying with one’s profession was even more evident, for example, Jones the Blacksmith or Mary the Midwife. People were born into a role or trained to become a particular profession, which they stayed in for life. No one questioned their identity. Now, the world is far more complex in terms of different professions and technological advancements, but we are still encouraged to identify ourselves with the work we do. And yet we are so much more than only our jobs!

We are also encouraged to identify with various characteristics, which are regularly collected to categorise and divide us. These include nationality, skin colour, sex, sexuality, gender, ability/disability, age, and religion, which are matrix-imposed conformations. The government and media try to impose new beliefs on us to divide us into smaller groups and factions, and manipulate us into identifying with a personal identity which may not naturally belong to us. Why? To better control us. “United we stand, divided we fall.”— Last line of the fable, The Four Oxen and the Lion by Greek storyteller, Aesop.

The above-mentioned characteristics, along with others, are not fixed. Our identities change throughout our lives, our age advances, and our nationality, sex, sexuality, gender, and religious identities can change over time. It can be fun moving from one identity to another; indeed, it’s often a natural progression of life’s expression.
