It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead.
The spiritual self of each of us is that part of us that will never grow old, or ill, or die, but it must be nurtured and invigorated!
Most of us have unhealthy thoughts and emotions that have either developed as a result of trauma or hardships in their childhood, or the way they were raised.
To me, growing into spiritual maturity is becoming less self-conscious and more God-conscious.
I have discovered that just because we grow weaker physically as we age, it doesn't mean that we must grow weaker spiritually.
People grow. It's okay to grow. Some people find that difficult to grasp.
There's biology in everything, even when you're feeling spiritual.
Because we are afraid of life, we seek to control or master it.
The strength people need to proceed along the path of human development can come only from the spiritual worlds.
One trend I see is the rejection of growth for self-discovery and the pursuit of authentic community. So we keep whittling our spiritual community to a smaller and smaller and more exclusive inner circle. The problem is if the diagnoses are wrong, so will be the cure.
