This course lays out the four-fold foundational structure of any authentic spiritual path: recognizing the problems of a non-spiritual life; taking responsibility for one's own well-being; the possibility of an alternative to a life of suffering and victimhood; and the basics of a coherent and efficient method for reaching the goal of true happiness. Drawing on various spiritual texts across four classes, the course moves through the Problem, the Cause, the Goal, and the Solution.
