Indeed. :-) We are all students of the life school. We all seem to have learnt different things . . . Do you feel that the expression, the way of being and the outlook becomes similar (or undergoes a similar maturing)? If so would it be that people looking back can help others and also look forward and see those ahead also offering their experience . . . ? In other words is the measure and effect something we know from experience, projection or . . . what? My feeling is maturing spirituality is easy to spot and immature spirituality should be easy to move on . . . :-) Lobster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That question implies another one: "Are humans rational beings?" When yes, speeding up would be easy. When no, the issue of speeding up is moot and the second question is irrelevant. º º º>Another measure is to look at the effects of a teaching on the students - º>how it effects their way of living, their way of expressing themselves º>and their outlook on life and fellow creatures. º ºIndeed. :-) ºWe are all students of the life school. ºWe all seem to have learnt different things . . . ºDo you feel that the expression, the way of being ºand the outlook becomes similar º(or undergoes a similar maturing)?

From that perspective, what can be observed is between stagnation / deepening insight. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
