Spiritualstories

From BluWiki

There are a number of benefits that can be derived from studying and discussing spiritual stories in any type of group setting. Usually, having a group to offer opinions and ideas will help everyone involved come to a greater understanding of the topics and lessons that are being considered. There is also a built in process of feedback when you are part of a group. Each person is able to offer their own interpretation of what the lesson or teaching means and others can add to this and create a bigger and more informative picture.

A group setting also offers a security net for people who may need to feel that others around them are helping and will support and encourage them. Groups offer a great way to ask questions and learn from other people by sharing ideas and thoughts. Individual study can be done with good results, but there is no opportunity for the give and take that will occur naturally and spontaneously when there are many people available to offer comments.

Discussions that are done in group settings are ideal for stimulating people to think about the lessons and come up with more meaningful ideas as to what the lesson meant. It is often a great help when people realize that there is no wrong way to answer questions about what spiritual lessons may mean to them on an individual basis. These lessons and ideas will always mean something different to each person and this is why it is good to hear from others about what it means to them on a personal level.

Group discussion and study periods often create the unique opportunity to listen to others speak on the same subject. You can use their thoughts and perceptions to factor in to your own ideas. This will often lead you to new insight about the spiritual stories that you may have thought you had well in hand. The group setting will also help you to evolve your own thoughts in different ways.
