Divine Love Spirituality: What is the greatest obstacle to your spiritual growth?
And the answer is – apart from the obvious one, yourself; the greatest obstacle that you have to come to terms with, see the truth of – and not simply ‘overcome’ – is: your family. Yet to go against your family is the greatest no-no. You just don’t do that. It’s sacrilegious. It’s being evil, it’s being the worst you can be, to turn your back on the very ones that love and accept you above all else – what would become of you, how would you cope in life with no family support and backup. However the relationships within your family, and especially with your mother and father, are for most people the greatest obstacle standing in the way of their spiritual growth. I bet you didn’t know that! And yet also for most people, who I doubt would agree with me, is why so many people are forging on with their religious and spiritual practices believing they are growing spiritually when they are sadly only deluding themselves. For most people ‘obeying’ their religion is the same as obeying their parents. And it was because they had to obey their parents that they believe they have to obey their religion. And for the very deluded, those who love their parents – loving how their parents made them be obedient, love being obedient to their religion. And some religions even teach their believers are to obey their parents, there being no greater devotion than to one parents. Oh how sad is the mental programming and abuse! How ingrained it has all become, how so many people will kill and die for their religion (and family) without having the faintest idea that it’s damaging their relationship with their soul. Such people believe they are growing spiritually and even religiously, however it will only be evolving their mind further into their negative state, further into their wrongness, further into their evilness, and not advancing their soul in truth through their feelings.
If you’re not looking to your feelings for the truth of your relationship with your parents, family and other influential carers and people in your early life, then you can’t possibly be growing in truth. And growing in ‘knowledge’ like so many people say they are doing and believe is so important, is NOT growing in TRUTH. So no matter what your spiritual or religious beliefs are, if you’re not uncovering the TRUTH OF YOURSELF THROUGH YOUR FEELINGS, and doing so as you move deeper and deeper into your main relationships, then you are deluding yourself as to any real spiritual progress you are making.
Our family relationships are the greatest burden to us, they retard our soul growth preventing us from becoming who we want to be. If you are aspiring to be with God, to follow Jesus and Mary Magdalene; if you are even longing for and receiving the Divine Love; if you are looking to make a higher or deeper connection within yourself or with a higher spirit personality and you are not doing it through healing your family relationships, then you are missing the mark. Your family relationships are standing in your way of your relationship with your Heavenly Mother and Father. Until you heal them you can’t relate truly with Them. So many people are looking for a higher connection outside of their family, however the psychology of their interfering family relationships unbeknownst to them, makes it difficult to advance in whatever religion or spiritual practice they are in; and many other people believe doing ones spiritual or religious practices with the family is what brings more happiness and love. And such things either with or without your family might make you feel happier and more loving, however you still won’t be advancing your soul in truth to Paradise.
So if you are serious about wanting to evolve or grow your soul in truth, and do it the right way and not by deluding yourself you’re doing it because of what’s in your head, then you’ll need to confront the truth of your relationships with your family.
We have all been brought into a negative, self-denying and truth-hating state of mind and will through our families. Our parents have led the way corrupting us and making us become as they are, as their parents made them become. And even though lots of people might share a loving family environment and might have loved and felt a great love from their parents as they were growing up, still their parents have made them become a false untrue person. And if you don’t think this has happened to you, then why are you feeling the need to look to a religion or spiritual system to make you feel better than you do – why are you reading this? If your parents had loved you properly and had been true themselves, then you’d feel happy and with no need to go elsewhere looking for answers. All your answers would be coming up naturally within you in response to you living true to yourself, simply in everyday life as you fully embrace and express every feeling you feel whilst looking to your feelings for their truth.
We are in fact meant to thoroughly love and enjoy being in our families and having the parents we have, all who help us live true to ourself helping us fulfil our soul needs, with our family being the central religious and family focus; however because we’re all living untrue relationships within our families we have to see how they are actually doing the opposite and not helping us. If you are denying one feeling, if you do anything to ‘make yourself feel better’, then that shows you have a problem within you and that problem will have been caused by your parents and family. And until you look to the feelings of that problem, express them and uncover their truth, you will never heal it, thereby limiting your spiritual progression and advancement in truth.
And how you can tell if you are untrue, false or wrong is by having bad feelings. If you feel bad in anyway, then you are not right, so not true; and if you’re not attending to those bad feelings properly, then you’re denying them, and so being false in some way. If you were true you’d only feel good; however if you ever did feel bad whilst being true, you’d attend immediately to those bad feelings giving them the attention they require so as to uncover the cause of why you’re feeling bad, all being done without the need to be false.
The obstacle our family presents to us which most people fail to see is the reason why we continue to bog ourselves down in obsolete and soul-destroying religions or fill our minds will all sorts of nonsense New Age spiritual beliefs. If we were able to see our family relationships in the correct light, and set ourselves free of them, in the process we’d shed having to be involved in such un-beneficial systems, just as we’d shed ourselves of our un-beneficial family system. The religions and spiritual systems of today are nothing more than extended family systems, big families vying for control, including all the usual internal family conflicts and power struggles. And being involved in them will only serve to keep you locked up within the existing power regimes that you’re used to within your own family, all of which are keeping you from feeling truly free.
And I understand it is terribly hard, however if you want to do the best thing spiritually for yourself, then you’re going to have to be prepared to look truly at your family relationships. You’re going to have to want to uncover the truth of them, and so see if what you feel that is good and loving is real and true, and if not, then to let it go understanding why it’s not what you thought it was.
Because it began with your parents, so it must end with them too. Your parents brought you into their evilness, made you become of it, all under the guise of loving you. Your parents did so unknowingly, however they still did it, and because of this you are bound to them in many negative ways, all of which will need to be brought to light if you want to untangle yourself from them. So any spiritual or religious system that takes you away from focusing on your family, and looking at your family and parental relationships as the source of all your problems, is doing you a disservice, unless of course you want it to help you further deny the truth of yourself and what you’re really feeling deeper within you.
So because our coming into Creation has all been of the negative we need to rectify the damage, heal our trauma and end our evil ways, by looking to understand the reasons why we are as we’ve been made to be. And those reasons are hidden within your family relationships. And until you decide to explore them, any so-called spiritual headway you make is only a belief that you are doing so, and not a real thing. And until you decide to uncover the truth of such early relationships, you’ll only be going around in circles binding yourself further into them.
