I want to take a moment to acknowledge something significant. If you’re reading this, it means you are among the Founding Members of The Spiritual Age. This space is still new. It is still forming. And because of that, your presence here matters more than you may realize. You are not joining a finished product—you are participating in the birth of a shared inquiry. This class is not about having the “right” answers. It is about context, discernment, and learning to engage spirituality with clarity, intelligence, and depth—without dogma or bypassing. Over the coming weeks, we’ll explore: - What it means to live in a time of profound inner and collective transition. - How ancient wisdom and modern insight can speak to one another. - How spirituality can be integrated into everyday life, not separated from it. Most of all, this is a space for thoughtful reflection, honest questions, and respectful dialogue. Thank you for trusting this work early. Thank you for stepping into something before it was fully visible. I’m genuinely grateful you’re here. Class will officially begin soon—but for now, feel free to look around, introduce yourself if you feel called, and settle in. We are just getting started. — Frater C.H.S.

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone I'm new here and wanted to share my newest piece with you. The Power of Communication in a Relationship How Words, Ego, and Emotional Honesty Shape Love Healthy relationships aren’t built on perfection — they’re built on communication. The way we speak to our partner, listen to them, and share our inner world determines whether a relationship becomes a place of safety… or a place of tension. Communication is more than talking. It’s the bridge between two emotional worlds. 🌪 What Happens When Communication Breaks Down Poor communication doesn’t usually look like one big explosion — it shows up in small, daily moments: • Assumptions instead of questions • Silence instead of honesty • Sarcasm instead of softness • Defensiveness instead of understanding Over time, this creates: – Emotional distance – Resentment – Feeling unseen or unheard – Loss of intimacy – Repeating the same arguments with no resolution When partners stop expressing themselves clearly and kindly, love can start to feel heavy instead of healing. 🪞 How Ego Gets in the Way of Love Ego in relationships sounds like: • “I’m right.” • “You always…” • “You never…” • “I shouldn’t have to explain myself.” Ego wants to win — not understand. Ego protects pride, not connection. When ego leads, we: – Interrupt instead of listening – Defend instead of reflect – Blame instead of taking responsibility But real love isn’t about being right — it’s about being open. Letting go of ego doesn’t mean losing your power. It means choosing the relationship over the argument. 💬 The Magic of Using Positive Language Words carry energy. The tone you use with your partner shapes how safe they feel with you. Instead of: ❌ “You never listen to me.” Try: ✔ “I feel unheard, and I really need your attention right now.” Instead of: ❌ “You’re so dramatic.” Try: ✔ “I can see this is really important to you.” Positive communication is: • Gentle, not blaming • Honest, not attacking • Clear, not confusing You can express boundaries without being harsh.

Hi members! I am so excited to have everyone here! I truly think you all will really enjoy this class and what it has to offer. But before I officially set up the time and date I need to ask everyone what the best time would be for you to join the class live. There are some members overseas so lining this up for everyone might be a challenge. If you can respond with the best time/s that work for you I’ll try and do my best to get everyone in at the same time. Thank you!

Hello every one 🙂

I’m Charlie. Nice to meet you all! The Spiritual Age grew out of both study and lived experience. Over the past several years, I’ve navigated a difficult divorce, addiction, and a long season of depression. What began as survival slowly became inquiry—into meaning, responsibility, and how spirituality can be lived rather than believed. This work grew from that journey. I’m still learning, still integrating, and still asking better questions than I once did. I’m glad you’re here. https://www.skool.com/the-spiritual-age/about
