  Abstract
  This paper describes a personal agent to assist users in dealing with personal and psycho-spiritual issues. As Internet-based applications move beyond simple information presentation and social networking, the use of agent technology to create a personal, customized, and comforting presence becomes possible. This ability derives from an agent implementation that can offer thousands of years of spiritual and psychological wisdom from multiple traditions indexed by a specific life issue. A recommendation engine is shown which references a user's history, a community ratings system, and a recurrence engine to help a user in need to explore profound issues encountered in daily life.
