The Essence of Spiritual Eldering

· To take hold of the willingness to deal with life completion

· To come to terms with one´s mortality

· To acquire the skills for working on the inside

· To pay attention to body, feelings, mind and spirit

· To give a real hearing to the inner voices

· To begin to do life repair

· To do the philosophical homework

· To serve as an elder to others

· To do this nobly, in connection with the inner, actualized self
