And to any young ones out there. Spirituality shouldn't be something to be desired. Anyone can be spiritual, but not everyone can be Godly.

Be cautious of groups that idolize spirituality. You'll often times hear speaking about how spiritual this person is or how unspiritual that person is. Comparisons like these are what Jesus often rebuked his disciples for doing (Luke 9:46, Luke 22:24). These people may actually be "spiritual" but by this type of boasting they really just show immaturity in their relationship with God. Again, spirituality doesn't equate to holiness.

Opening yourself up to the spiritual realm without the guidance and protection of God will land you in a world of hurt, believe me I know. Trust the LORD to be spiritual for you. And be obedient to his word in return.

And going back to the original point of this thread, you'll see the annihilation of your sense of individuality (soul-life) is at the core of all forms of false spirituality. "Ego" is the word you'll typically find in these systems and it's viewed and taught as something that prevents spiritual growth when in fact it's what makes you uniquely you and the part of yourself that guards against those that seek to control and manipulate you.

So don't get caught up on "spirituality". Pursue righteousness, holiness, and godliness. All that can be found in Christ Jesus.
