well - I guess what I'm getting at is that everyone is on their path... some call that a spiritual path - others like to look at it as self development or actualization.
And for myself there have been several defining moments in that process (I view it as a spiritual process but call it what you will) where I've had great growth and I've gained new insights & understanding
...but there are also certain defining moments that I called obstacles at the time, which may eventually become stepping stones but at the time they were obstacles - which made me feel as though I had lost my way.
During these times, I would have a "Lapse" for lack of a better word back into a lesser state of awareness or more of an ego-based reality. I've referred to it in other threads as if I'd fallen back to sleep for a bit.
I was asking others about any challenging situations which may have set you back a bit or made you periodically forget what you thought you had known and internalized?
I hope this is clearer - sorry to be so vague before.
