How is spirituality grown and strengthened? Is it a cookie cutter process?

I have believed my whole life to be very different then most, in the spiritual sense. To the point of scrutiny and even anger through those who felt comfort in idols and trinkets. The last few years have brought out many new questions of which I once was sure I understood. I neither believe nor disbelieve anything I simply gather facts and inner instinctual experiences. But I feel there is something else in the air as of recent and I wonder if anyone else feels the same way.

I don't know...it seems as if something else is always in the air, which it is. I don't know if there was a time that people didn't feel that something special was about to happen, because it always sort of was...and is.
What might be happening is that we are awakening to an expanded perception of time. Maybe we are stepping into a higher dimension of space time, which is hard to comprehend from the time dimension I'm aware of as I write this.
Just how spirituality plays into this, I'm not totally certain. But I do think that the picture becomes clearer really quickly when stepping out of our historical time based perspective.

It seems to be also a process of mastering self-observation. When we were kids, we would get angry and "see" only our side of the situation. It seems as we get older, there are trying moments where we prevail and stay kind - even if we were tempted to be otherwise.
It seems spiritual growth is about learning to give more and more until one day we are free from all bondage of the ego...
What do you think?

I have to agree with most of what you wrote, one thing seems to elude the most enlightening of events. The truth that should come from letting go of the clutter that comes with life. You know pairing down and getting off the grid. It's not so cut and dry. People say pretty words they read in books or online, but no one knows until it happens. It's different for everyone I think.
