rdwhitaker is absolutely correct. I have learned that the key to C&E is learning to love others more than self, truly. Love is the key to all spiritual gifts and to spirituality. We know so little of the power of love and its many and varied aspects. But when one learns to love unselfishly and is willing to sacrifice himself/herself for the benefit of others, they have reached the level of spirituality of C&E.
By the way, I used to believe that Abraham offering Isaac was when he received his C&E. But if you read his story carefully, you come to understand that when he refused to denounce his beliefs and was sacrificed by the Egyptians, that is when he received his C&E.
