Define "spiritual development".
I find there are few people able to understand this concept. Most are 'separatist'. For them 'spirituality' opposes 'materiality'. Some others are dreamy or confused.
By my question, I mean you to explore the term/word/meaning.
Hi Whitefeather!
In the context of this discussion I intended it to refer to active spiritual evolution. I believe I understand the thrust of your comment, that is that there is no separation between anything, and thus spiritual development must be inclusive of transitory information. Indeed since all is one everything must be inclusive rather than exclusive, at the deepest level. We may even find examples of this, I'm sure it's quite possible- likely even, that transitory information has led people to deeper questions about the nature of their existence, who they are and why they are here.
In my paragraph last year I am not recognizing this possibility and drawing a clear line between what I consider information that is directly helpful for the spirit versus information that is less so and instead caters to the intellect. I may be erroneous on this point, and indeed may not have my arms completely around the concept of spiritual evolution. It is a fine point to ponder indeed!
yours humbly,
Lavazza
