Introduction

What This Course Is About
Based on Eric Butterworth’s groundbreaking book Discover the Power Within You, this course provides the necessary tools for recognizing and using the divine power within. Beginning with the eternal quest of who and what you are, this course will illuminate your own spiritual being and lead you to achieve greater peace and prosperity. You will become the captain of your own soul and the master of your own life, which will lead to greater freedom and more abundant living!

Discover the Power Within You is a Spiritual Education and Enrichment required course for the Spiritual Development Program.

How the Course Is Presented
The instructor will prepare a Learning Guide for each week's work. The Learning Guide will include comments about the topic to be studied during the week plus suggestions about what to look for in the assigned readings.

Along with this posting, the instructor will initiate discussion threads by posting specific questions related to the week's topic of study. Students will be able to post responses to the discussion questions, respond to other students' postings, and ask questions of interest to the class. The instructor will respond as appropriate.

Requirements for Learners

Complete Assigned Readings
Reading assignments from the textbook will vary in length, with no week's assignment overly long. Readings from recommended books will be listed along with readings from required texts. The recommended readings will add to students' learning experiences.

Use the Weekly Learning Guide
The Weekly Learning Guide gives students an overview of each week's learning activities and experiences. Each lesson flows similarly and includes:

• Table with topic and general information.

Participate in Online Discussion
The discussion forum offers students the opportunity to interact with other students and with the facilitator of the class. Every Monday after the first week, the facilitator will post questions or statements related to the lesson. By the following Monday, students should respond with answers, comments, or even questions related to the topic. Discussion Forums are mandatory. When extreme circumstances prevent a student from participating, the student must contact the facilitator.
