Blog posts or articles that in any way aim to enable spiritual growth should always strive to do so by positively provoking a specific experience in the reader. Spiritual growth is not possible without personal experience. The best that can be achieved is a fine-tuning of already formed attitudes or creating conditions for their transformation.
This happens when you come across blog posts or articles where all information is given blankly. Regardless of the author’s level, texts or any materials (videos, etc.) alike. It means blank readings that just pass through you without provoking a strong reaction.
When a specific text resonates with you, when that text hits you, it is absolutely necessary for you; it carries answers to some of your dilemmas. It will provoke a strong reaction in your physical body, a strong emotional reaction, and even a mental, if not spiritual one.
You have probably had that experience: a shiver or ecstasy, tears of sorrow or joy, deep contemplation in the moment of reading, even entering into meditation and losing the sense of space and time. THIS IS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE! Then, at this moment, spiritual growth occurs. Afterwards, outdated patterns are changed.
Today, I must say in “our world,” time is the most precious resource. If you’ve already decided to use it for yourself, be selective. Don’t settle for anything pale, weak, or average. Always seek positive provocation, something that strongly resonates with you, something that will bring you a personal experience.
If you are searching, if you are on your spiritual path, and if you consume quality texts, and there is no internal reaction to it, something is not right. You are part of the whole Creation, and all meanings are already within you. Deep down there, all that’s needed are keys to access it within you. To remember what you have forgotten. When we come across the true key (teacher, text, article, video) to something deep within us, there will always be a strong internal reaction!
