An Ideal is a single word pinnacle and the highest goal of positively motivated language. We all choose physical, mental, and spiritual ideals whether we know it or not. A conscious choice in a positive direction significantly improves the possibilities.
"The most important experience of this or any individual entity is to first know what is the ideal—spiritually.”
- Edgar Cayce 357-13
An ideal is a guiding star that has a Physical, Mental, and Spiritual component. It's the standard by which we live.
A spiritual ideal is the highest spiritual quality or attainment that we could hope to have motivating us in our lives right now. Fill in the following three columns as shown. Some possible ideals can be found among the Fruits of the Spirit or can be other things like teaching, service, encouraging, giving/helping, Oneness, or gramercy.

“...Know the ideals—spiritually, mentally, materially. Write them down. Alter them from period to period of real study and meditation...Let each question be answered by determining what thy ideal should be respecting same.” - Edgar Cayce 270-48
