Thank you for a great question βαθμιαίος. I think it is not necessary to measure at all and I agree with you Aaron that it is going to be subjective. and that each person will have a different perspective of you. and I also agree that the spiritual blossoming manifests differently in different entities.
But I let's say for now that even if it is subjective we can still get a reading of our progress confidentially and then take the measure again and monitor how much we have progressed/blossomed. No external entity is involved and you are the only one measuring yourself. I think this will give you an idea about your 'spiritual blind spots'.
I have to run now but I have an example around the 'golden rule' and how you can see your own implementation of golden rule, of treating everyone the same way as you would like to be, in different aspects of your life- like- treating your own self, treating your friends, treating environment, treating plant and animals... How does golden rule applies in your work life and how you offer your services to the world....
