Like countless teachers have told us, spiritual evolution isn’t as much about feeling better as it is stripping away all of the falsities from our life until the genuine, authentic seeker within is all that remains.
Once we cleanse ourselves of the things that hinder our development, which are usually pushed onto us by society and influence us for a long time after, we’re left with a purified aspect of our consciousness that can explore itself and help others learn about spirit in a sensible way.
I think authenticity is important, especially if we want to show the way for others. We’ll want to be as approachable as possible for people who might not understand what we’re talking about at first, and we run the risk of pushing away potential newcomers if we aren’t anchored when we talk or write about spirituality.
