Traps in Spirituality with Respect to Spiritual Development?

[sat2493]

My intention with this question is to pinpoint some clear areas in spirituality as a journey where it is easy to get lost in. I know this question is also a bit weird too because everybody pursues spirituality also for different reasons. But can we all agree that there is some quality of what we all are pursuing that is called “spiritual development”? If we can agree, what follows is that there are obstacles or ways of being lost that can prevent spiritual development from reaching it’s fruition with respect to our desires.

I really am motivated by personal reasons for asking this question. Is it only natural to have a feeling of being lost on what to trust and what to avoid with respect to spirituality, or is that more of a sign of just where I am at in my personal journey? I feel like I am bouncing on all fields and perspectives I encounter with no direction. I literally feel like I am deep in an ocean of uncharted territory. Also, I haven’t finished Leo’s Life Purpose course either. Would pinpointing my life purpose help me out of this confusion?

Sit on a chair, close your eyes, put your hands on your lap and stay that way while you feel comfortable. During that state, thoughts, emotions and sensory impressions will appear to you in the present moment, events experienced during the day or from your past, and all that is good, spontaneous cleansing of negative emotions from those events will follow. Do not interfere directly and willingly in the whole process and after a while your Soul will send you direction what to do.
