Hey Atmos, just came across your account and your statements „by accident(?)“.
I really like how you put this out there. Telling people that spirituality can be a dangerous trap needs to happen more often.
Even when people start out in an honest way and start liberating themselves- the ego finds it ways. It creates a new spiritual identity , which can can create a lot of performance pressure ( was I spiritual enough today? Did everyone at the table see how spiritual I am?).
Also common is the pressure on your daily level of presence (why didn’t I feel the connection to being today? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to try harder?).
The third pitfall is spiritual arrogance or superiority ( „I’m much more awakened that she is“ or „I know better what to do now“)
I experienced this in myself and others a lot, that’s why your article resonated strongly with me.
Thank you for your efforts and your energy and I hope that many people will take it seriously. 🙏🧘
🙏 Yes, lots to deconstruct in the spiritual industry - on both sides, seekers and teachers/gurus. All that can be dismantled should be, until only Truth is left.
