A main sticking point to understanding occurs with how one views this universe. We on earth tend to see in Newtonian terms. That is, we believe that when an apple falls from the tree there is a set of absolute rules which govern it's fall, and those rules are reality.
Einstein proved this idea is false. He demonstrated that each of us see through a different perceptive lens. No one of us is observing the same thing. Spiritually one can take this observation one step further. Perception is what is real, not the physical universe. What is real is what you perceive. Without perception there is no physical reality. This is not conjecture, you can use idea this very effectively in your own life, starting now.
If you understand a viewpoint. any viewpoint, to where you agree with it, you grow spiritually.. The growth is cumulative. That is to say, the more you take on other viewpoints, the greater your love, understanding, and focus. This is pretty cut and dried. But it helps to know it is true and to have a support system. You can experiment by finding something that you don't agree with and taking completely the other side, to the point where you agree with it. If you can't stand abortion, take the other side. If you hate drunks, take the side of drinking. Understand it as thoroughly as you can. Then go back to your viewpoint and decide what you think. Some pretty astonishing things can happen along the way.
It is spiritually impossible to do anything "wrong". That is as true as that the sun will rise tomorrow. Your understanding will be greater as you move in that direction, and with it life should get easier and more fun. And people get to be quite a kick.
I love you guys!
