Spiritual Development websites?
There’s so many sites out there offering advice but how do you know which are genuine & not just money spinners? Is there an obvious way to differentiate?

The ones seeking monetary material gains/ offering spiritual development in very short time for money can be fake ones . |

In my opinion, avoid those that ask for money in return for their services; even asking for donations is suspect.
If you're sincere in your wish for spiritual development, start reading (avoid self-help books), and as you advance, you'll find that you'll serendipitously encounter useful guidance. Read only to form a foundation, and to get pointed in new directions.
Don't put your faith in anybody's teachings. You'll eventually find your way, and acquire first hand knowledge.
PS: Funny, but has some truth ... Those who can't, teach.

Reading was the first advice I gave myself. I’ve read solidly for 2 months & 3 days now. After posting this today I’ve had a major breakthrough.. It involves a lion, a leopard & the number 22. My journey continues...
Thanks for your insight. Love that quote..Those who can’t, teach. Never heard it before but love it nonetheless 😀😀

After a significantly longer quest than 2 months, I believe that we can get closest to truths, answers, and guidance only by looking inside ourselves. The best way to do that, in my experience, is to (learn to) get into trance (I recommend self-hypnosis), and do channeling, regressions, asking questions and receiving answers. That's what I do. It is incredible!
If you prefer a shortcut, until you get your own answers, the best alternative source is Jane Roberts' SETH (a spirit) books. There are many sites that discuss the SETH material. You can also find SETH quote collections (SETH books add up to thousands of pages on a large number of subjects). There are other channels too, but none of them comes close to SETH.

Thank you for your wonderful advice. I can see how I must sound like an impatient child! I’m 50, & trying to cram 20 years of signs I ignored & fast track into spirituality! I must realise these things can’t be rushed & slow down 😀
I will take your advice & source the SETH material. Thanks again

I wrote a response on this but, it magically disappeared from my phone as I was reaching to end so, I am rewriting this.
No spiritual person/website/organization I know of, is going to ask you for money for your spiritual advancement/development/enlightment and to "enlighten you", whatever this enlightment/development/advancement exactly means for "them".
That is just exploitation and a big red flag for it.
A quick way to differentiate is to be connected to your feelings, trust them and act upon them.
If in any way, you feel uncomfortable and creates confusion, do not know what to make of it, just do not go there and simply avoid.
All the best, take care. |
