It is interesting to review each one, to evaluate where you are on the continuum, and to make note of how far you have traveled in this growing season. Each continuum represents a different perspective on the spiritual path. You can review your relationship to each one and set goals for yourself based on what you find. The basic unit of measurement of spiritual progress is light. Whether we think we can perceive it or not, each of us can sense the presence or absence of spiritual light in those around us.
Many people refer to it as good or bad vibes.
The spiritual path leads us from a small aura blocked with darkness to a big aura filled with light. Building light through connecting with the soul and bringing in higher and higher frequencies of spiritual energy is a major key on the path. The other key is to release the blockages that have created the darkness. As we move forward, we must release each of the energetic blockages to allow for a free flow of energy through the aura. In each case, the thing that keeps each of us from experiencing this freedom is whatever is pulling us away from the present moment and the connection with the Soul.
