Spiritual Morality.. how about introducing practical ideas to these young people about those things what are useful to spiritual evolution and what things or activities could be hurtful or harmful as a part of spiritual instruction one can gain through learning to cultivate spiritual experience [inner consciousness] by quiet-time meditation practices? Possibly giving a sense of spiritual discernment as to a construct of such things that are helpful as virtues and such things that are hurtful being sinful to one's spiritual growth. Not introducing religion but just some useful interpretive clarifying ideas as for a helpful public education, -JaiGuruYou

What you don't want to do is admit that the DLF is a gateway foundation to gradually indoctrinating new meditators by telling them about unified fields and yogic flying and systematically getting them into the belief system until they've swapped reality for Marshy's knowledge.
