I feel like I have plateaued spiritually. Sermons and articles are becoming harder to write. I haven't felt connected to the spirit for about 3 or 4 months now. I don't what's blocking me from moving forward or if I'm even supposed to be continuing to move forward. It's getting more and more difficult to convey what I understand almost to the point where it feels like what I'm conveying is utter nonsense. I feel lost and abandoned. Any advice would be helpful at this point.

This is the first time I've checked the board in a while. I've been busy with a lot of stuff including some struggles of my own and I see you're going through some tough times. I'm messaging you my cell phone so feel free to give me a call. I can't often do the skype services (and never on Fridays) due to work, school, and family but I want to keep in touch. I don't know how to build a Gnostic community either but you write some good sermons man and I can tell you possess a real gift. Keep making sparks and you'll start a fire. I do also know that it is often in the most lost and painful times that we find the deepest Gnosis. To quote Tyler Durden from Fight Club, "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything".

You are not expected to always be atop the mountain. You are being drained even as I write this. You cannot be constantly in movement or expect to convey such. You cannot constantly give. There is the time for repose. You know that. Even if it took a year. Don't be misled by the spirit of depression.Even Jesus said "why have you forsaken me?". And you know his outcome, his reward through faith. Rest and recharge your battery of faith. Continue to trust, even if it's just a little. You are being torn apart. But see it as being rebuilt....like an engine. At the end you will feel better, operate more smoothly, and increase in spiritual power.
You know what things to think on.
