Quote: "The more we expose ourselves to the concepts of self trust, love, sharing, caring, the more they become a facet of our inner reality". 

BeiYin: Is this the most important here that people confirm each other in their concepts? Expressing their concepts with 'wonderful words' and then receiving other words full of love and caring and so creating an atmosphere of common spiritual rose clouds? Is this the sense of this 'discussion board'? Do you really feel comfortable with it? Is this what you call 'inner reality'? And then getting even stronger with it by teaching it to other people who are willing to receive? Do you have no doubt that this might be an illusion as being part of your personality? Do you ever quest your belief as not being a realization of an 'inner reality' which goes beyond personality?
Now do you feel offended or is your defense system so much sophisticated that you are able to reject those questions by saying that you respect other opinions and that you have no need to listen to other concepts than to those you own? Or do you need to defend yourself by attacking me now?
Isn't self trust, love, sharing, and caring the result of an individual growing process? And then when realized - after a long way of working on oneself - are forming the link between one's personality and the whole? Being the expression of the ONE which is more than any satisfaction and self confirmation giving concept but fulfilling in a way which doesn't need to be expressed in words in a discussion board, because daily life gives more than enough opportunities to respond with what is there as realized abundance: LOVE.
This doesn't need to be confirmed, it is sufficient by itself and is a reflection of existence which doesn't recognize any separation...

The 'spirit world' is another projection of one's inner self to the outside. Similar as words are used to express something which goes beyond the frame of  words because it is expression of one's existence. So the 'inner guide' which is another picture of oneself takes the form of the image of somebody known to give a message, then this is maybe at this moment the only way to get to the suffering person to initiate a healing process which goes far beyond the physical but includes the whole existence.
