SPIRITUAL GROWTH

 

SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Often Begins With Spiritually Rich Questions Which Arise In Our Minds Like:

What Is The Purpose Of Life? What Is The Meaning Of Life?

Have I Accomplished Anything Worthwhile?

What Am I Doing In My Life That Really Matters?

Is It Even Possible To Achieve Something In Life That Is Lasting?

Is There A Spiritual Realm?

What Is Spiritual Growth? Spiritual Development?

Our Deep, Meaningful Questions Arouse Doubts About Merely Living For Material Success. Perhaps Wealth, Power, Fame, Sensual Pleasure, Etc., Have No Lasting Value. That Insight Itself Is A Sign Of Spiritual Growth.

Growing Spiritually Pushes Our Inquiry Forward Into The Unknown—But Spiritually Discoverable. When We Feel An Urge To Seek Answers To Our Questions, We Can Progressively Discover Aspiritual World, A Spiritual Realm, Which Provides Answers To What Is Real, Meaningful, And Lasting.

Arrogance Presents A Real And Present Danger For Spiritual Seekers. Just By The Very Nature Of Spiritual Search, We All Tend To Find Some Pretty Satisfying And Serious Personal Truth On Our Spiritual Path – And If We’re Not Careful, It Can Make Us A Little Smug. Or Even Worse, It Can Give Us The False Sense That We Have Knowledge And Insight That Somehow Outranks Or Trumps Other Peoples’ Knowledge And Insight. Finding A Personal Path To Inner Peace And Spiritual Happiness Can Sometimes Have An Unfortunate Side-Effect: Coming To Believe That Your Personal Path Ought To Be Everyone’s Path.
