The attachment to things, or perhaps some spiritual abilities, I don't think you can enter the world of Samadhi unless you negate astral abilities that are valid in this world. Often, in the world, when people talk about spiritual growth, there are various interpretations, such as being able to see spirits or being able to see through others. Eventually, that may be the case, but more importantly, the most important thing is to reach the world of God. If you are attached to "things" or "abilities," you will not reach that world. You must completely negate them to enter the world of God.

There are many misunderstandings about what spiritual growth is in the world. Some people try to achieve spiritual growth by being able to heal, feeling vibrations, or seeing auras, which are all about worldly benefits. However, the most important thing is whether you can reach the world of God. If you miss this point, you may end up with arrogance and an inflated spiritual ego, even though your heart is not at peace. In most cases, arrogance hinders spiritual growth. Even with a little spiritual growth, people may mistakenly believe they are superior beings, or they may join spiritual organizations and feel like they have become important. Even those who have joined such organizations experience this, so if you are born into a certain lineage and continue to hold that ego, it may be particularly difficult to achieve spiritual growth, and you may need to separate yourself from it before you can grow spiritually.

In any case, you must first completely detach yourself from the worldly aspects of this world before you can reach the world of God, and the first stage of that world is Samadhi.

To experience and live in a state of oneness, as is often said in the world, you must first completely negate all of your previous existence.

Generally, it is said that it is not possible to reach this oneness of Samadhi immediately after starting training, and that it may require many lifetimes. Indeed, I think that is true.

Many people become spiritual instructors, who are like the typical spiritualists you see in the world. They can see spirits and can more or less astral project, but they have not yet reached the state of oneness of Samadhi, they still have normal problems, and yet they are revered as spiritual teachers by those around them. They spend many generations in this state, learning various things.

No matter how much one can perceive spirits or see into other people's lives, and no matter how much one is respected by others, that does not necessarily mean one has attained enlightenment.

It is true that the ability to perceive spirits or see into other people's lives is often seen as a goal in the spiritual world. People with such abilities are often regarded as spiritually advanced, which boosts their self-esteem, and many people mistakenly believe that they have achieved spiritual growth because of their abilities. However, this is just a superficial understanding of spirituality.

I believe that if one does not properly study what enlightenment truly is, one may be misled by appearances and mistake things like spirit perception or clairvoyance for spiritual growth.

What is the point of being able to perceive spirits or see into other people's lives? Nowadays, anyone can freely see distant landscapes with a smartphone, and spirit perception or clairvoyance is often inaccurate. What is the use of developing such an imprecise ability, other than as a hobby?

There is something called physical mediumship, which is a spiritual phenomenon or ability that can influence the real world. While such abilities may exist, they are often inaccurate and not very useful.

Instead of seeking such superficial abilities, it is far more wonderful to deny and let go of the world of "things" and enter the world of God, which is a world beyond "things." This world, which is not the world of things, is the world of God, and entering it allows one to experience self-other unity and the oneness of samadhi.
