When spiritual seeking divides longtime friends

My best friend and I have been spiritual seekers together for years, but she's gone deep into something that feels like it's consuming her and I'm watching her disappear into certainties that scare me. We used to question everything together and now she gets defensive when I ask about what she's learning and I don't know how to reach her without losing her completely.

What we've seen

The very openness that brought you together spiritually has led one of you toward a certainty that threatens the friendship itself.
