Hello
It's funny how just when you think you have a problem licked, it comes back. Part of my problems since around summer '02 have been to do with my sister. She is involved with a spiritual teacher and his group which I was also loosely involved with until I finally discovered the list, the nature of my spiritual development (K), and that the practices of her and any other group are, at least for the time being, detrimental to me. It took months of depression, soul searching and letters to the list to sort all this out! When I felt able, and over a long period I discussed this all with my sister who finally understood that we are doing things differently. She was actually very interested to hear all about K awakening and felt it added to her knowledge. I was very happy and relieved that we understood each other and our relationship (which I had worried about) was intact. What is happening now however, is that I am finding myself being very intolerant of her spiritual practices and beliefs. I really don't want to feel like this, I had decided that that is her path and where she needs to be right now, but when she says certain things it irritates me beyond belief! When I hear her quoting their practices and beliefs it all just sounds so hollow to me, I can see the way they manipulate people and think to myself "what rubbish!". It kind of scares me that I feel like this because all along I have respected her belief in this teaching, but it is becoming harder and harder now not say what I really think about it - and I know that that would create huge problems.
I really thought I had resolved all this, however when I speak to my sister it starts off these feelings of irritation, anger etc.
Reading Hillary's post in reply to Safeka and the quote from Swami Shivom Tirth about becoming attached to spiritual practices has really been helpful.
Thank you for reading all this - I needed to offload!
With much love
Carole
