Vistar Method        AIM - Evolutionary Spiritual Practice

For deeper engagement with the Vistar Method...

An AIM is a spiritual practice applied to everyday living. In the Vistar Method, AIMs function to keep us awake and are the key to evolutionary transformation. AIMs point not in the direction of changing outer circumstances but in the direction of changing ourselves—although they do have a miraculous effect on our outer lives. Although the AIMs in themselves do not create the shift in our consciousness, they are a form of request or prayer. Through AIM, one is helped to discover the presence of Grace and awaken to living authentically.

AIMS AT MEETING A VMEC
The Meeting is a spiritual gym. AIMs are given at VMEC Meetings to help participants actually work on transformation while attending the Meeting. Some of the results are deeper understanding of personal issues, hearing new answers, experiencing a new sense of self, opening a larger vision and context for our lives, intimate connection with the whole.

COLLECTIVE AIMS
At the end of each Meeting, participants receive a Collective AIM to be applied until the next Meeting. This holds a great collective power both in Will and in staying awake during the week. Observations from the AIM are shared at the subsequent meeting and are fuel for collective growth and understanding.

PERSONAL AIM
This is an AIM given through Vistar’s unique Sponsorship System. It is an AIM directed specifically to a circumstance or issue in our personal lives. This is done through email or telephone contact with a Vistar Teacher. It is an opportunity to move beyond our personal will and find "change and Newness". This is part of what we call…THE FAST TRACK!
