- Spiritual Literacy
“To read the sacred in everyday life, we have to develop new qualities of mind and heart, qualities that open us to the presence of the spiritual within all aspects of existence. No moment, no thing is to be excluded. But like any other kind of reading, reading the sacred requires an alphabet. Here in 26 parts are 26 different qualities that are needed to practice spiritual literacy for reading the sacred in everyday life.”
Spiritual Literacy: Reading the Sacred in Everyday Life, based on Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat’s bestselling book, is a six-volume DVD series consisting of 26 meditative and soul-stirring half-hour films. Award-winning filmmaker David Cherniack has married aha! passages by teachers of all spiritual traditions to sense-luscious visuals and emotionally vibrant music to reveal the sacred meanings in today’s world.
The series is organized around an alphabet of 26 qualities — from attention to zeal — for practicing spirituality in everyday life. At least one clip from each episode is now available at the SpiritualLiteracy YouTube channel.
