Question: In which group is it easier to work, a physical or virtual one? I have both a virtual ten and a physical one. In my virtual ten, I do not know people personally, and their personal qualities do not bother me. It is easier for me to communicate with them spiritually than in a physical ten because a person’s physical qualities distract me from spiritual work.

Answer: A physical and virtual group are different things.

In a physical group, I perceive my friends as physical beings. This often creates a sense of rejection or regulates our relationships based on the perception of their physical traits. In a virtual group, I perceive my friends less as physical entities, which makes it easier to establish what can be called supra-material connections. Which is better for spiritual development?

First of all, it is excellent that you are analyzing how your perception of a physical group differs from a virtual one. You are correct that a virtual ten is more abstract and does not hinder your efforts to connect. However, this approach is flawed; it is an escape from egoism. Instead of challenging your ego, you are lulling it to sleep.

What you like seeing in others from a distance, you see; what you do not like, you avoid. But this will change. Over time, you will realize that if there is an opportunity to move from a virtual ten to a physical one, you should take it for more intense and conscious spiritual advancement.
