If no, why/how?
If yes, any advice for those having difficulty?
Do you think that there is some sort of natural tension between the two at certain stages of spiritual development?

Your perception of your outer world reflects your inner aspirations. Generally speaking, one's perception and interpretation of their outer world is colored by subjectivity and their own perception of their inner aspirations.
I believe there is constant tension between the two, although the tension exists on a variety of levels, and can be utilized constructively .

read the book---Let your life speak. It is all about being faithful to one's calling--which is not all cerebral. I am a social worker and at age 5, in Calcutta, India, I was handing out food thru our window, giving my dolls to the poor children, and playing with the "untouchables." I tried to be what my father wanted me to be--an engineer ( i was always the top math student) but ultimately, i had to be what I was. I am greatful that God saw me through it all.

No I'm very deep. I suffer from chronic insomnia and clinical depression but even my family aren't fully aware of it because I keep it well hidden. Outwardly I'm holding down a job-inwardly I'm struggling to cope with a debilitating illness.

Your outer world reflects what you deserve, not your aspirations. If it was aspirations, there would be no poverty and no suffering.
Does that make sense?
