Hi, annn1e.

I didn't study "The Tempest", so I'm just going to be discussing the general idea of spiritual discoveries. I'm going to split this into two main areas: role and significance.

Role
Spiritual discoveries aren't something we can necessarily see; it's the internal motivator and serves to initiate new discoveries within the metaphysical realm. It often has connotations towards religion, being able to conform to a certain societal role, or simply being able to find our identity through finding who we are. The blurb of this book does a good job at explaining the role spiritual discoveries have on us, and what it means to be 'spiritually active'.

Significance
The significance of this is far-reaching and transformative; it begins to change our habits. When you're in a zone that is difficult to comprehend through human experiences, these new experiences you face play an integral part to the way we can sometimes think: of ourselves and those around us. It begins to shift our focus towards the ideas that exist purely abstractly -- things that are difficult for us to explain.

Hey, for my essay I talked about the fact that because the characters were stripped from their positions that they were able to go through a spiritual discovery. I assume that the spiritual discovery would be in terms of Prospero when he decides to abandon his magic and return to Europe.
