“Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.” (John 4:48)
*Jesus tells a nobleman that people will not believe unless shown miraculous signs and wonders.
Crrow777“Is accepting that you are not done at death an indicator of one’s spiritual development and level?”
This episode covers the book Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda
If the Sun is not alive and conscious, then how can it make life possible, and maintain life? Likewise, if a Minister, Preacher, or other spiritual leader has had no spiritual realization or experience, how can they lead or guide the spiritual path of another?
My early spiritual path consisted of visiting a 501 (c)(3) (church) once a week for an hour or two, where I was told the same stories over and over, and taught that what I believe is the thing that matters. What I was not taught is that, like every other thing of value in this world, spiritual attainment requires hard work.
It took me years of researching other spiritual traditions and older versions of Christianity to learn that there is much more to spiritual progress than believing – and it entails work. Hard work that requires dedication, guidance, and learning over a lifetime, for most of us.
