I understand your sentiment because I had felt that for years. But the Holy Spirit later taught me something about this: growing spiritually means maturing my spirit.
All the stuff I was doing, like praying, Bible reading, Bible study, were all mental exercises. These weren’t maturing my spirit because I didn’t even know that I had a spirit, much less understanding the efforts to mature it.
Being born again means that your spirit is reborn by the Holy Spirit (John 3:3-8; Ezekiel 36:26, 27). The NT explains how to mature your spirit by faith. But we also must connect our mind with our spirit so that we connect with our connection to God and Christ. Then we can really begin to understand how the Holy Spirit is guiding us and teaching us (John 16:13). We have many spiritual experiences that teach us the meaning of the Scriptures. We know them because we experience them.
So, I’d say that understanding the human spirit from the Scriptures should be your next step.
