Psychic Lipstic No Non-Dual

How meaningless and imperfect those must feel who spend ten hours a day meditating, chasing consciousness, striving to merge with the cosmos. All that effort isn’t just spiritual but a desperate attempt to feel bigger, stronger, more whole than they actually are. This is psychic lipstick, and a very bright one at that, applied not to conceal flaws in the flesh, but to mask insecurity in the psyche.

People engage in extreme practices such as long meditation, spiritual posturing, obsessive virtue not because those practices reveal truth or elevate them, but because they regulate their nervous systems, manage anxiety, and patch over the gap between actual capacity and desired self-image.

This “psychic lipstick” is a camouflage mechanism, a way to make inner inadequacy tolerable while still performing socially or spiritually. It shows that what looks like nobility or insight is often just an adaptive survival strategy of the psyche.
