Why Spiritual Discipline Comes Before True Sight
By Faith Spina
Spiritual abilities are not rare gifts. They are part of what it means to be human.
A dream that guides you. A gut feeling that saves you. A knowing that changes your life in an instant. These moments aren’t accidents. They are reminders of the intelligence within you.
And yet, most people stop there.
They call themselves intuitive because they feel things. They call themselves gifted because they sense energy. But feeling is not seeing. And sensing is not knowing.
When you are called to be a practitioner to hold space for others, to guide healing, to transmit truth...something more is required.
Discipline.
Not the kind of discipline that punishes, but the kind that steadies. A rhythm. A devotion. A humility.
It doesn’t come through study like a math test. You could be a farmer whose hands move with the rhythm of rain and sun… or a mother who reads the soul of her child in a single breath… or a caretaker whose love softens even the most wounded animal. This too is discipline...lived, not memorized.
But without clarity, even the most loving gift can be misused.
You must know what spirit beings are. You must learn to discern. Not every presence is of the light. Not every whisper is truth. There are beings who mimic grace, who mirror light to trick the untrained eye. There are energies that enter subtly… and erode the foundation of the practitioner who does not know how to protect their field.
Rudolf Steiner said that one must first build spiritual discipline before entering Mystery School teachings. Without inner development, spiritual sight distorts. Prophecy becomes performance. Channeling becomes echo. Ego dresses up as truth.
And when ego enters the sacred unseen, it becomes dangerous.
We would not accept this kind of recklessness in other professions. A doctor who guessed. A pilot who felt their way through the sky. But in spiritual work, people often confuse “mystery” with “anything goes.” This confusion becomes its own distortion.
The truth is… the spiritual world has laws. It has order. Its beings have structure and intent. These things do not change based on belief or doubt. They exist. And to truly serve others, we must learn how they move.
Spiritual discipline looks like:
• Daily silence or stillness
• Observing your own emotional reactions
• Journaling what you see in the unseen
• Prayer or alignment with Source Light
• Study of spiritual laws
• Honest character refinement
• Learning the architecture of subtle energies
• Surrendering ego again and again
It is not glamorous. It is not a performance. It is slow, loving work.
The deeper mysteries open only when we are prepared to hold them. They are not withheld out of punishment, but out of grace. So we do not collapse beneath what we are not yet ready to carry.
If you feel called to offer your gifts in service, do not rush. Do not chase signs. Do not skip the foundation.
Let your roots go deep. Let your character mature. Let your ego soften. Let your sight be forged in clarity…not reaction.
Because when the foundation is strong… your gifts become medicine, not mirrors. They become wisdom in form. They become light the world can trust. This is Gnosis.
P.S. I offer many of these teachings here free on The Bridge but for those who desire to go deeper in mentorship I will be offering some private Mystery School Teachings later this year and I have one opening left for a Midwife Certification Course for the one who is being called to serve their Highest calling. Message me for details. With the highest respect, Faith Spina, Spiritual Midwife & Oracle.
