Summary
Setting spiritual goals begins with reviewing achievements and areas for improvement across all aspects of life. Self-knowledge helps identify priorities and clarify what we want and why. Objectives such as astral projection call for small steps, with realistic goals for each person and adjustments as progress is made to maintain motivation and avoid frustration. Sharing experiences and mutual support contribute to this growth, which can also benefit professional and family life. Changes should be directed toward doing good and contributing to a better world.

The theme of "Spiritual Goals" is particularly relevant because many people have never thought about setting goals in this regard. Before defining our goals, it is important to review the past year, 2024. We are at the end of the year, a time when we naturally tend to reflect on what we managed to accomplish. We often fall into a routine of simply meeting obligations without being aware of our personal and spiritual objectives.
It is common to want to accomplish things and expect them to happen without much effort or strategy. However, it is important to take practical action so that our wishes come true. At the end of the year, we can reevaluate what we have accomplished and what we still want to achieve. Looking back, what are the first items that come to mind regarding what we would have liked to accomplish this year? It could be something financial, professional, personal, or spiritual. The immediate answer generally reveals what is most important to us.
It is not just about spiritual goals, but an overview of the year. What comes to mind first? It could be something material or related to health, relationships, or spirituality. One participant shared that it had been a year of learning and reevaluation for her. When we reflect on the past year, what comes to mind regarding our achievements? Do we usually write down what we accomplished or failed to accomplish? In which aspects of life did this occur? What do we believe we accomplished, and where did we fall short? Another participant mentioned that she had significant personal growth in family relationships—which is extremely important, because we grow through relationships.
A participant had a year filled with work and change. A participant was happy to have purchased a car she had wanted for a long time and to have undergone important medical exams. Another participant also had achievements of his own. Reviewing her year, another participant realized that she had worked extensively on self-knowledge. A participant found CEC, which brought many changes, deconstructing old beliefs in order to build a freer human being. This first contact with CEC can be wonderful, but also somewhat conflicting because of the beliefs we carry.
A participant managed to perform the TAD and is very happy. One participant is in Portugal and another is in Australia, so we keep talking with people around the world. Another participant realized that she had accomplished a great deal, which made her happy, although her romantic relationship fell short—but it still brought learning. When reviewing the year, it is important to encompass every aspect of life. It is essential to stop and reflect on what we accomplished throughout the year. We should recognize our achievements and identify areas where we can improve. This helps us set goals for the future. The famous line from the Cheshire Cat in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" illustrates well the importance of knowing where we want to go: "If you do not know where you are going, any path will do."
When reflecting on the past year, it is common to realize that some things happened without planning. This prompts us to grow and plan better for the coming year. People often come into conflict because they lack clarity about what they want to achieve. When we speak of spiritual goals, such as astral projection or developing clairvoyance, it is important to understand that the path is made of small steps. We cannot expect gigantic leaps, but rather gradual progress.
Being in the upper part of the heart chakra, for example, is a condition of stability that many seek. However, we need clarity about what we want and the steps necessary to get there. Knowing ourselves better is the first step toward any spiritual objective. The more we know ourselves, the clearer our objectives and the steps to achieve them become.
Many people set goals such as developing astral projection or reaching a specific spiritual state, but end up frustrated because they cannot do so. It is important to find a balance between achieving results and not becoming frustrated in the process. We should set goals that are realistic and attainable within our reality. Spirituality is an individual path, and each person must find their own goals. For some, it may be starting to feel energy; for others, it may be performing self-laying on of hands. The important thing is to begin with something that makes sense within our reality and keep adjusting as we progress.
The end of the year is a time for reflection and review. Many people feel frustrated because they have not achieved everything they wanted. This can lead to a negative emotional state known as "Decemberitis"—a December syndrome that affects many people. It is important to use this moment to set goals and avoid falling into a cycle of frustration.
Spiritual goals are fundamental to our growth and can positively influence other aspects of life, such as professional and family life. Having clarity about what we want and why we want it is essential to maintaining motivation and achieving our objectives. Spirituality helps us have a more fluid life and reduce suffering, because it frees us from bonds and makes us evolve.
The exchange of experiences and mutual support help with spiritual growth. Regardless of our age or stage, there is always room to learn and evolve. The changes we seek should have a greater purpose aimed at doing good. When we make decisions to build something positive, all forces and energies align to help us. Therefore, when setting goals for the coming year, we should focus on objectives that help us grow and contribute to a better world.
