This is going to be the last post i make for a very long time (if you consider 2 years to be a very long time) ill still be around but im not going to be making posts and i will be able to respond to pm's
So through out my limited experience with this forum i was always the on asking questions not really giving any answers. right now i don't think im in the position to give answers but i do think im in the position to take a stance on a topic that i have wanted to discuss for a long time or at least see the opinions of others and that would be what is spiritual growth. so i see this phrase being thrown left right and center and yet i can't rap my head around it. reason being if growth is another way to say progress then where are we spiritually progressing to why do we need to spiritually progress and if progress means at one point there is a goal what is that goal.
to even take a look at this from a different angle if spiritual growth is this thing that happens when we experience things in our life and these experiences move onto the next life. then what did i learn from my last life and why cant i directly remember these experiences. and what is the goal out of rebirth if i cant even access my last life memories
to take this from another angle (last one before i get to my point) if im not the one that is growing but there is another being attached to me being my higher self and im just a medium to help him grow and all my past lives are just different mediums in different time periods then why does it have to be so complicated why cant it just grow without me and why dose each medium have a life span before getting physically tossed away and conjoins with the higher self.
so my over all point of this is that why do we need to grow spiritually and why cant we just say its a cycle and there is no true progression its just us experiencing life and what it offers
so as you can probably tell my stance is there is no growth no progression its just us experensing
