How to grow spiritually

Without stability I feel the only option relieve stress from this is to get rid of things and peruse minimalism. I feel their is nothing left but to seek peace and stability. I wish to learn to live without money but with skills knowledge to help others.

The Jews believed you may not grow much spiritually until you have passed the age of 40 and have a full belly. Full belly meaning the knowledge, wisdom and experience life brings.

My answer to you:

It is truly hard to seek peace without the right environment. I believe it is impossible in this day and age to truly find peace. Everyone is very busy, they have no time or don't care about the wisdom you hold. the love for money has dwindled any capacity to pursue wisdom.

If you want to help others, I suggest you start at hot-lines. They are the best places to help other people in need.

There is one place where you can find stability and people you can depend on, and that is the Army. In the Army, you go through missions and maybe battles with your fellow soldiers and you depend on other soldiers with your life, so the bonds you develop with your fellow soldiers are stronger than any other bonds you develop in your life in this day and age. But the downside is you have to accept the fact that you may not be fighting for a cause you would actually wish to support.

True, but the OP wants to find peace and help people. Not to be sent off to wars and kill people.

Thanks for that idea what companies offer something like that. I would like to help people live easier more simple healthy lives.Maybe I should write a book though I think self help book are already a dead horse.
