In spirituality, various elements are emphasized depending on the school of thought and perspective. Some of the main elements include emotions, thoughts, and energy. These are actually interconnected, but it seems that they are often understood as separate entities. While they are based on relatively similar experiences, the state of the phenomenon can be quite different.

・Emotions
・Thoughts
・Energy

A common classification is to divide the aura, which is an energy body connected to the physical body, into layers.

The classification in Theosophy is quite famous, dividing it into the physical body, the astral body, and the causal body. In spirituality, these are the main issues that arise, and in most cases, it is a problem with the astral body. The astral body governs emotions and memories, and thoughts are also classified in this layer. Therefore, when discussions about thoughts in spirituality or meditation arise, it is often related to the astral body.

When experiencing something or listening to spiritual teachings, it is important to understand which layer is being discussed. It is also important to know what is effective based on your current stage of development.

In many cases, emotional purification is the first step, which relates to the astral body. This does not necessarily require meditation, but rather, experiencing a state of "flow" through some activity involving the physical body can be effective for emotional purification. This is because when you meditate at this stage, you confront your emotions, and you may be troubled by thoughts and other things. Therefore, it is difficult to continue such a difficult meditation, and many people give up on meditation. Instead, it is important to repeatedly experience entering a state of "flow" by focusing on work or other activities and becoming one with the object. This may not be called spirituality, but it is actually a spiritual experience in the astral realm.

For example, activities such as making things, designing machines, or programming can lead to a state of "flow." While it may be difficult to make money through spiritual meditation, if you work normally and enter a state of "flow," your efficiency and quality will improve, your speed will increase, and as a result, you will get a good job and a good salary, which is a win-win situation. People who are working on and trying to purify the emotional stage in the astral realm can enter a state of "flow" through work, or if they are still students, through studying or sports. A state of "flow" is a partial alignment with the object, and by experiencing such a sense of unity, you can actively engage in your work.

This is an important foundation for spiritual practice, and whether one can progress to the next stage depends on this foundation, and it is not an exaggeration to say so. In the spiritual field, there is a method of repeatedly practicing basic exercises, and by doing something every day, one can enter a state of flow. However, this is something that most people do in ordinary jobs, and the experience of entering a state of flow by diligently working and concentrating on the task, even in ordinary jobs that are not typically considered spiritual, is repeated, and as a result, spiritual growth is often faster. Therefore, the various stories circulating in the world that say that certain practices in the spiritual field lead to spiritual growth are just one path, and in reality, most people spend much more time doing their regular jobs, and it is precisely the thoroughness of these daily tasks that is important for building a spiritual foundation.

In spiritual practice, it may take a few months or a few years, but ordinary people work for decades, so the difference in time and quality is significant. Entering a state of flow in ordinary work is the foundation of spiritual growth, and this is related to the astral realm. In this way, achieving results in studying, sports, or work brings emotional stability, reduces distractions, and increases energy. This indicates that the physical body and astral body are being activated and purified, and this is reflected in one's posture and expression.

In reality, many spiritual stories end there. Changing reality, attracting reality, becoming healthy, reducing distractions, and living energetically - in most cases, people seek to achieve these things. As the saying goes, "People can only achieve what they can imagine," and people cannot become what they do not know. The current situation is that false spiritual teachings, such as "You can get money through spirituality and no longer have to work," are rampant.

In many cases, there is a tendency in spirituality that "getting money and not having to work is a good thing," and people often take contradictory actions, such as paying a large sum of money to participate in expensive seminars in order to avoid financial difficulties. Only the organizers of the seminars can obtain large sums of money, and as a result, a hierarchy is created among the seminar staff, and they become trapped in a life bound by money. This is because people naturally obtain what they seek, and because the initial goal was money, the result is also money.

It is rare for people to truly seek spiritual growth, and this is because they are often unaware of higher realms.

This refers to a world of energy, a world free from distractions, and a world of rich emotions. It is also sometimes called enlightenment or liberation.

Each level has a certain quality of energy. Lower energies are of a certain nature, while higher energies are lighter, and each has its own vibration. This is both about energy and about vibration.

Some schools of thought emphasize the quality of energy and may not talk much about distractions.

There is also a topic in spiritual discussions about "whether one can read the minds of others." There are two types of people who are said to have such abilities, but in reality, one type has an unstable aura and comes into contact with others, causing information exchange. In this case, their emotions are not yet purified, their vibration is low, but they can perceive what others are thinking. This is relatively common, and some people are called "spiritualists," but they often lack knowledge of higher realms. The other type has a stable and purified aura, and can see the minds of others from a higher perspective. This is the proper way, and ideally, one should strive for this. However, even if one can read the minds of others, it often becomes clear that it is of little significance. Therefore, unless necessary, it is best not to read them. Even if one can read the minds of others, there is almost no wisdom to be gained from it, and reading the minds of people who are not saying anything of great importance is almost worthless. Moreover, people have mouths and ears, so it is much better to hear things directly in order to have a well-structured and orderly understanding. Even if one reads the minds of others, it is much more difficult and time-consuming to understand their true intentions and context than through normal conversation, so one cannot assume that the thoughts one reads are necessarily the person's true feelings. Therefore, even if one can read the minds of others, it is almost meaningless.

With this in mind, it is better to purify one's energy and engage in spiritual activities (such as reading minds) in moderation, and to follow the proper path. Therefore, it is essential to understand what is truly spiritually correct and what is not. To do this, it is important to understand that things that are often promoted in the world, such as the law of attraction, wish fulfillment, or fortune-telling, are not very meaningful, and that the most important thing is to connect with the higher realms.
