You cannot enter samadhi unless you completely negate the world of "things."

The attachment to things, or perhaps some spiritual abilities, any astral abilities that work in this world, must be completely rejected in order to enter the world of Samadhi. Often, in the world, when people talk about spiritual growth, they interpret it as being able to have psychic visions or being able to see into others, and there are various interpretations. 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 reject them in order 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, seeing auras, or other things that bring practical benefits in this world. However, the most important thing is whether you can reach the world of God. If you misunderstand this, you may not have inner peace, but your arrogance will increase, and your spiritual ego will expand. In most cases, arrogance hinders spiritual growth. Even with a little spiritual growth, people may mistakenly believe that they are superior beings, or they may join spiritual organizations and feel that they have become important. Even those who have joined such organizations may experience this, so if you are born into a certain lineage and continue to hold that ego, it is especially difficult to achieve spiritual growth, and it may be necessary to separate yourself from that lineage in order to achieve spiritual growth.

In any case, you must completely detach yourself from the secular world in order to reach the world of God, and the first world you reach is Samadhi.

In order to experience and live in the world of oneness, as is often said in the world, you must first completely reject 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, and they can do things like psychic visions and astral projection, but they have not yet reached the oneness of Samadhi, they still have problems, and they are still admired by others as spiritual teachers. They spend many generations in this state, learning various things.

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

It is true that having such abilities as seeing spirits or perceiving things is often seen as a goal in the spiritual realm. People with these abilities are often perceived 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 seeing spirits or perceiving things as spiritual growth.

So, what is the point of being able to see spirits or perceive things? Nowadays, anyone can freely see distant landscapes with a smartphone, and the accuracy of seeing spirits or perceiving things is often low and inaccurate. What is the point of developing such an inaccurate ability, other than as a hobby?

There is something called "physical mediumship," which refers to spiritual phenomena or abilities that have some influence on 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.
