Let’s talk more about relationships and how they may help or hinder our growth.
I am a loner Anshinodharma. A byproduct of my childhood, though for perhaps a decade I did network and even ‘fit in’. Even had some young ladies try to fix me up with their friends at one point. I am married for 3 decades with two adult children who still live at home. But friends, nah. Just not that important to me, though I do value chatting to (some) people I know in the street.
I think that my outside the system, but also with experience in it (university, the professions, running a business) has aided my spiritual growth enormously. Why? I am able to look and analyse and make judgements without the ‘strings’ of expectations.
Other things that have accelerated my spiritual growth..
1. Looking at every bad decision, every bad reaction to events, every time I wish that I had made a different decision, and working hard, being as honest and objective with myself as possible as to why. Then realising that sometimes underneath all this are truer reasons. It’s hard work. Then you have to work out ways to make sure you make better decisions or don’t react in the same way when life tests you again.
2. Listening to my mind and body. Eg in museums, where over the decades I realised that I could connect to some objects. Developing and testing this weekly. From an idle passing of Sekhmet perhaps 3 decades ago to understanding connections.
3. Paul.
What has delayed my spiritual growth.
Nothing obvious comes to mind.
Hope that helps.

Who am I trying to kid for I can’t even resolve family darkness. Whoever is next to step up, please do.
Firstly with our internal system. There are some trillions of intelligences used in each human system. Some are bacteria and others are elementals and lesser and greater devas.
Then with our family and soul group - many incarnational connections
And with the our surroundings: human, animal, plant, mineral
As those relationships improve we become attractive to star systems including this solar system.
All the above are part of spiritual unfoldment - there is a spectrum from so-called matter to so-called spirit.
Any blockage in those relationships necessarily slows spiritual unfoldment
Often the greatest problem is human self-esteem - being too great or too small
How important is it to connect with entities from other realms?
How important it is to connect with many humans while we’re here inhabiting a human body?
What accelerates spiritual growth?
What delays spiritual growth?
Let’s talk more about relationships and how they may help or hinder our growth.
Anshinodharma
I have been thinking about your recent posts and wonder if you have an ‘itch’ that there is something you feel is there but can’t quite grasp it. If so that is normal and is a good sign of progress. If not I wonder if you could explain your frustration as it could help us help you. You mentioned iirc that you work in a hospital so I am going to assume you are data and evidence based in your approach. Which is good. Though as you noted iirc on the disclosure thread that can be infuriating when people regurgitate the same old same old. Now if I am way out here, just point it out.
After all that, another way of answering your question…..
The relationship you need to understand best is that you have with yourself.
Know yourself. There is no way that I know to teach this, you have to find it yourself. See point 1 in my last post on this thread how I achieved it. When you have it’s like night and day.
Now, to help you bridge the gap towards Paul’s explanations, I am going to assume you are a doctor. If so you know about mitochondria, the multitude of bugs on our skin, in our gut, and elsewhere inside us. One way to look at that is that you are not just you, but you plus billions of other life forms coexisting in harmony. Sharing mutually benefiting each other. Until disease happens obviously.
Getting to Paul’s solar system and galactic beings takes a bit of work, that I am only beginning to glimpse and hence get my mind around, but following the above process might help you.
Hope that helps a bit Anshinodharma!

Well met, dear friend. I think most of us here probably never "fit in" and realized there was more to reality than met the eye, so to speak.
I think that my outside the system, but also with experience in it (university, the professions, running a business) has aided my spiritual growth enormously. Why? I am able to look and analyse and make judgements without the ‘strings’ of expectations.
That is a very interesting background you have. What business do you run? I also run several myself. Yes, I do feel that running a business aids spiritual growth, but one has to guard the desires that can be stirred by financial means. Did your family help "ground" you or perhaps was never an issue for you?

Interesting. How have you found connecting with objects helps your unfoldment?

1. Marketing and (at one point) graphic design with specialised business finding/introduction in a specific field mainly.
2. It was a difficult time family wise. I was also too motivated by money myself back then. Still I learnt a lot from it. Perhaps my darkest period.
3. The first time I thought that it was a bit wierd. Then as the years passed and I connected to more objects (through glass) I began to see patterns, and connections. After a couple of decades I found that some objects directly enabled my spiritual growth. Including religious artifacts across time and religion. But also some distinctly non religious stuff, eg a Toulouse Lautrec. Some objects fill me with energy, some have offered comfort, some have simply made me pause for thought. Some have revealed data that has been useful to me but isn’t visible to the eye. Egs…. (1) A mummy that was distinctly unhappy to see me walk this Earth. I guess we had issues back in ancient Egypt! (2) a painting of Jerusalem engrossed me, initially with energy flows, but later with specific places where I felt comfort and fear. As best as I can map it, the first was the site of a Christian church, and the latter is the location of an old prison. (3) a single painting of a woman who I immediately connected too as if we knew each other intimately. In these and other cases they have enabled me to step forwards. Interestingly, for Paul, an old Christian object (actually thinking on it several objects) is a bit like you, encouraging me on. Each time I learn something about myself, possible past lives, and connections. I would suggest that as I do with Paul, I seem to frustrate some of them as they all seem to want to push me forwards, across religions.
4. Paul, what a decade plus with a huge gap. If you check my earliest posts you will get a precise date.

One of the most difficult things that I have come to terms with is that I do appear, historically, to have the support of multiple religions to push forwards. Given that I am a gnostic, and not that religious, it has baffled me. After all some of these connections are at a high level, so again why me? Somehow I doubt that current religious leaders would see me in such a positive light.
Also having been addicted to money myself in the past, and knowing how it can screw with you, having walking myself forwards out of it, I am now able to see how money addiction is harming our world. I can only hope that just as I did our world can positively walk forwards from it.
Paul, you see in addition to your work pulling me, I have had a fair bit of ass kicking pushing me. Though I still can’t see any positive way forwards other than that I have previously described. Life just hasn’t presented me with the relevant opportunities, and my esoteric work does not appear to have been successful. Mind you I might not be best positioned to observe such things.
