Spirituality is a very broad and encompassing term. You can also view spirituality, metaphysics, esoteric, mysticism and the occult as one in the same thing -- dealing with the unseen reality; non-physical. With spirituality being a general term it can be somewhat confusing to know what the different paths are. Or, which paths to travel.

In this article, you will learn what makes up the major spiritual paths. You can view each path as a major subject. These major spiritual paths or subjects contain MANY practices. The practices will vary but still fall under one of the main "umbrellas" or subjects. I refer to the major subjects as the Ninefold Path to Spiritual Mastery.

Ninefold Path to Spiritual Mastery

Everything pertaining to spirituality, metaphysics and the occult can be mastered. This is what I call spiritual mastery -- expertise in a spiritual path, subject or area. However, there are only about 9 major spiritual paths. The Ninefold Path to Spiritual Mastery illustrates the major metaphysical subjects. Each major path has many practices and disciplines under them. Remember, each practice can be mastered.

In the Mastering Spiritual Mastery Module, I cover each path in depth. There are 14 lessons in the Module. ​For more information make sure to check out the Spiritual Mastery Accelerator Program.

Let's take a look at each major path including a brief description and example practices.
