The temptation to arrogance and missing the purpose of the gifts we are given is a common weakness and one best avoided at all costs. Because the consequences of getting this wrong are terrible.
Yes, I too have often wrestled with this. I focus on following the spiritual path to theosis/divine union in Desert and Fire, but I know of some who seem to have traversed all the stages laid out by the likes of john of the cross, Teresa of Avila and Eastern Orthodox mystics with no apparent or confessed faith. Written in our hearts indeed!
