Living Spiritual Science

Rev. Starlene Joyner Burns sharing insights on living a Spiritual Science lifestyle and personal growth.

Introduction

Living Spiritual Science means fully integrating spiritual principles into every aspect of daily life. It’s not just a belief system or a set of practices with rituals; it is a way of being, grounded in wisdom, personal growth, and the pursuit of higher truths. For me, it’s a lifelong commitment to embodying spiritual knowledge through consistent practice and inner reflection.

A Way of Life

Spiritual Science has also shaped how I perceive the world, interact with others, and maintain my personal boundaries—both spiritually and physically—for my spiritual well-being. As a lifelong student of spiritual growth, I practice what I have been taught, whether through foundational studies, personal experiences, inner teachers, the teachings of others, or life’s many spiritual surprises. Spiritual Science is not something I study to become a spiritual leader; it is how I choose to live my life, grow, and consistently align with higher truths and practices.

Practicing Spiritual Science requires balance, discipline, and consistency. It’s not about constantly seeking higher spiritual experiences but about maintaining awareness, care, and growth through every phase of life’s lessons. Whether life feels aligned or chaotic, staying grounded in spiritual principles helps navigate challenges and stay true to one’s path.

Final Thoughts

This is just the beginning of exploring living Spiritual Science. In Part 2, we will dive deeper into the practical aspects of daily integration—how to maintain balance, practice awareness, and stay spiritually grounded. Stay tuned for more insights into living a Spiritual Science lifestyle.

Spiritual Science Stories

The Hotel with a History

A True Story of Spiritual Discernment and Boundaries

Flooded hotel hallway with spiritual presence sensed beyond the water

In 2014, I received an unusual request from a hotel in Washington, D.C. Management had tried everything—renovations, repairs, new ownership—andyet the problems persisted. Flooding. Electrical failures. Constant malfunctions. It was as if the building itself was resisting.

They wanted me to do a spiritual clearing.
I walked the space. I listened.
And I said I would consider it.

That night, Spirit spoke clearly—in a dream.

I was shown the weight of the energy within that structure. Not just one spirit, but many. The message came swiftly and strongly:
You do not have the authority here.

The dream wasn’t just symbolic. It was a warning. I saw unrest, sorrow, and resistance. I was shown what would happen if I tried to intervene where I had no spiritual jurisdiction. The burden wouldn’t just be mine—it would ripple outward. I woke up knowing what I had to do.

I respectfully declined the job.

Later, I learned that the hotel had been constructed during the Civil Rights Movement—an era thick with struggle and injustice, especially in D.C. I can’t prove what’s beneath that foundation, but I trust what Spirit revealed: some pain is embedded too deeply for ritual alone to resolve. Some places don’t need a ceremony—they need acknowledgment, truth, and time.

The hotel has changed names. But the reviews?
They still mention flooding. Strange electrical failures. An unexplainable energy.

 


Spiritual Takeaway

This isn’t a ghost story. It’s a spiritual science story—one about discernment, respect, and knowing when to walk away. Not every haunting is your calling. Not every space is yours to heal.

Sometimes, the most sacred act of service is to listen—and step aside.

Anniversary Medallion

The Medallion of Metaphysical Legacy

Like the 60th Anniversary Catalogue, this image speaks volumes about the educational influence of the National Spiritual Science Center’s curriculum.

The writings of occult pioneers like Rudolph Steiner, Helena Blavatsky, and Alice Bailey—all mediums, psychics, and healers—were studied by spiritual science students seeking deeper truths. These authors helped shape the metaphysical framework that NSSC built its teachings upon.

Below is a National Spiritual Science Center medallion, created to commemorate its 40th anniversary of metaphysical education and service.

This piece, shared with us by Rev. Dorita Dixon, is more than a keepsake. It is a sacred artifact—reminding us of the knowledge, the journey, and the unseen world that continues to guide us.
