Dearest Students,
Here is a question from someone who chooses to keep his name confidential.
QUESTION: What is the biggest obstacle to my spiritual development?
ANSWER: The biggest obstacle to your spiritual development is the need to be right. Notice the way this need crops up in your everyday life. Notice what it does to you...what it causes...like silly arguments, wasted time and energy...and blocks to learning. Look at what it creates inside of you...anger, hostility, blocks, anxiety, tension, separation. Notice the way it blocks Truth. (Notice that your need to be right also means "right" about how wrong you are, bad, worthless, a failure, unattractive...What if you were WRONG about those low opinions of yourself : )
You didn't ask this question, but I will ask it for you:
QUESTION: What is the biggest help to my spiritual development? ANSWER: The biggest help on your spiritual path is your receptivity. An open mind, an open heart, a spirit on fire for Truth, is your best friend. With this, comes energy, enthusiasm, and fearlessness. You do not let fear overcome you, because you are pointed in the direction of Truth, and nothing can stop you! Not even your need to be right!
Thank you for your question! And your receptivity!
