Spiritual vs. Pseudo-Spiritual (Part 1) ☯🕉☯ Authentic people, vulnerable people, patient people, genuinely loving people, non-judgmental people, are the best kinds of people. However, for some reason, I can’t help but find that so many of the “spiritual” people I meet day in and day out are not these kinds of people. In fact, to put it bluntly, I have seen such a rise in a type of culture that is completely steeped with hypocrisy and denial over the past few years, and now at the turn of yet another year, I feel that I’m about up to my ears in pseudo-spiritual bullshit. Can I find someone to blame for this? I could point my finger in a few places, but I’m going to do my best to own the situation. Why? Because I’ve been a hypocrite too. As fed up as I can get with this shallow, misunderstood, over-glamorized, and naïve form of spirituality that is beginning to pervade our culture, I know this much: It is a necessary and inevitable phase. And as annoying as it can be, it is a step in the right direction. For those who are at a point where they’re beginning to realize that a true mark of wisdom is humility, coupled with an understanding of just how easy it is for us to deceive ourselves. **I’m writing this for those who are ready to humble themselves and realize that we are all inherently human and that it makes much more sense to start with where we’re at, rather than to pretend we’re somewhere we want to be when we’re not.** If you feel that this describes you, I would encourage you to read my post tomorrow and take a good honest look at yourself. The process of growth is one of being willing to look at our dark side, our faults, our ignorance, and move beyond it. If you feel that you’re the most balls-to-the-wall, evolved, advanced, spiritual rockstar on the planet, I would also urge you read part 2 tomorrow 😁 #spiritual #pseudospiritual #balance #truth #livethelifeyoulove https://www.instagram.com/p/B4A7PSCDVkD/?igshid=1x259ex9co8qc
