What is the purpose of spiritual growth?

[Adonai One]

Interesting questions A1, let me answer with another . Why does a painter bother to paint when he can already see the image he or she wants to portray in their mind's eye? Or why does a musician play a song if he or she can already hear the melody in their head?

The one thing we can say about the infinite creator is that they are infinitely creative. Perhaps if the nature of the creator is creativity they are seeking simply to explore the infinite limits of their creativity just for the sheer joy of it.

You give a list of reasons why a unveiled society will likely remain daydreaming in simple shacks in the middle of the forest, rather than create advanced technological civilizations.

A painter bothers to paint because he prefers a material object rather than an imaginary one; He prefers external validation of his work rather than complete satisfaction with himself and his imagination. Somewhere in his spiritual evolution he was convinced that it was more honorable within his duties to himself to share his work in material than to remain satisfied in oneness with the creator. The self's love created wisdom that was his skill in painting. The same applies to the musician.

Creativity is inherent when the self shares the self to another. The level of abstraction is what comes into our analysis. The abstraction of our artists and musicians is due to a great desire to share the self with others due to our history as a people and our patterns of showing ourselves to one another.

Our people seek great validation and, in my view, is but one aspect of an infinite creation that seeks to create in numerous visions of reality.

The creator seems to be more than happy to see entire species of life destroyed with no experience gained.

Free Will is the first distortion, and the absolute cornerstone of everything that Ra conveyed.

it might seem as though there is 'waste' (no experience gained), but even in stagnancy, there is an opportunity to reflect on that condition.

re: learning potential:

28.14 Questioner: Is there any reason for some portions being much more efficient in learning?

Ra: I am Ra. Is there any reason for some to learn more quickly than others? Look, if you wish, to the function of the will … the, shall we say, attraction to the upward spiraling line of light.

I'll never claim it as a waste. I rather attempted to convey the possibility the creator enjoys very minimalistic creations that seemingly have very minimal signification in vast destruction or otherwise... Perhaps the first octaves were just full of very unintelligent animals that reached the creator in a very uninformed state?

There is reflection but perhaps it's just the experience and beauty for the sake of itself this all exists?
