Devotion For Spiritual Growth

level of admiration and commitment necessary for spiritual growth frowned upon in Western culture as unhealthy because you lose yourself to someone else. Westerners think that you should never give up or lose, and so the result is that they do not actually learn and grow because they're so determined never to give up their hold on their governments to place another person. They eventually really lose, because they do not learn in depth and full potential of what can be learned.

we can prove that thinking to the mind which resists must have guards at the door, and some form of barrier or tie to hold you back. If there is any kind of barrier, then it is impossible to freely and fully immersed in the situation. It is a common problem with personal relationships. People are simply too afraid to commit to another person, or a job or project and, unfortunately, even yourself. It consistently results in an incomplete and uncomfortable experience.

Devotion is a commitment. Without one or the other, not fully open to experience an event or learn knowledge represented as it retained a certain level of fear or ego.

the importance of commitment and respect for their ability to learn is clear. Most parents simply do not deserve respect, their behavior is not respectable, and in this way, children can not or simply will not learn from them.

Part of learning and the value of what someone has to teach you a 100% proportional to the level of respect you have for that person. Although you will learn things from someone we do not respect, you will learn how deep or as much as you can. This applies also to respect everything, even the machines.

more respect for the machine, the better you understand how it works. For example, be a good pilot must comply with the mechanics and functions of the aircraft. If you think about it, you should be in awe of this machine that can fly, and more in awe and respect you as deeply as it deserves, the more you understand it. more you understand more and learn more you learn the better your skills will become.

One day a new visitor came to our regular group meetings. After the meeting, this person asked me to meet and talk about my becoming their mentor. In our discussion the next day, they mention discomfort and disagreement with one of the people in the group who looked at me with great admiration and absorbed everything I said. "That level of reverence can not be healthy .'

This is a key factor limits the potential for Westerners, a basic belief that the total commitment is a bad thing. Instead they believe that a person should maintain their feeling of distrust in the way, filtering everything through their own experience and conviction.

This is actually a wise attitude, but the downside is that if the distrust, you will never relax, and you're constantly on guard. Be on guard when combined with filtration through his own experience is limited and must be present in some way, prevents a person from making self-made ​​barrier, thus preventing the natural evolution of who I am today, which could be tomorrow.

Devotion need a double-edged sword, it all depends on who or what are sanctified. wise balance between total commitment and confidence in time. Take the time to let the people who show up for you. Do not base your opinion on what they say about themselves, but rather judge them by their actions. If a person who professes are perfectly balanced and happy, then get angry if someone spills tea, actions speak louder than words.

Make your decisions based on the action. It takes time to allow enough action and the events will happen before a person shows you who they really are. But be careful not to look for contradictions, otherwise you will find some that are not there just to prove you are right, and found the flaw. Just be present and open to see what it is.

And here's the problem, people do not have the patience to wait and see, but they want to know right now, and so are words that describe the years of effort only on the surface meaning, and ignores the motivations and the deeper meaning behind these words. You can only judge a person based on their own level and experience. If someone does something they do not understand or disagree, it does not mean they are necessarily wrong, it is possible, but equally, it May be your own lack of understand where lies the error.

If you do not have the patience to wait and see, even if you do, look for the motivation behind what a person is telling you. What will they get from accepting? And what we get?

Devotion is like respect. It should not be given just because someone is older or has a college degree, but it must be earned. However, remember that your loyalty is not for who you are committed, but for their own benefit and growth, clean up your selfish ego, fears and inhibitions, all those things that are blocking you from developing into more than just a human being.

must have more devotion than the person who receives it. Piety is not what it seems, it is only the surface. This is just a number in the combination lock to open the door to your higher self.
