Do Not Let ‘Spiritual’ People Put You off of Spirituality
The language, the judgement and the consumerism says everything you need to know about society, NOT spirituality. Leave Becky to her Crystals whilst you follow an actual path.
A couple of my Clients recently have mentioned that they didn’t think what they were experiencing WAS spiritual. That they wouldn’t describe literal spirits poking their heads around corners or they dead Grandmother showing up as a spiritual experience.
In America, if you don’t fit, you don’t exist and as neither of my clients were talking about Jesus or discussing an angel/reiki/crystal/yoga situation that theirs was somehow darker. Somehow shameful.
Listen.
Becky (24) with the good hair who’s child is a ‘starseed’, she is an ‘empath’ who has recently found her calling as a white Reiki Shaman with a lineage that stretches all the way back to Jeff Bridges and drives a Tesla, sponsored by Amazon and doesn’t vote because it goes against her ‘ethics’ or loving everyone (except immigrants, the homeless and that man at number 47).
Becky is not spiritual. Becky is lost, lonely and has a low self worth that she is hoping to cure in an arena where it appears as though most people are like a piece of wet toilet paper.
This faux neo-spirituality is morally corrupt, has huge consequences and no depth BUT is is easily marketable. You need no intelligence, no connection and no scruples - just an Amazon account and a credit card.
Then you have the ‘Dans’
These guys tend to go one of two ways - heavily into the ‘occult’ which is the exact same thing as spirituality, just a more mysterious term for it. It is still just working with spirits.
It’s no more sexy.
These guys are like the incels older brothers around for centuries before the term existed. They tend to be quite isolated, bad social skills and they feel the world owes them something. The most common reason for them turning to the occult is for money and women.
Not to be a hero like in the films they worship, but to get laid.
It’s a tale as old as time.
Dan Version 2.0 the guy who runs ceremonies/circles/tantra workshops. This Dan is much better socially, got a haircut and has ventured outside of his bedroom to get himself a nice little piece of knowledge that allows him to coerce men/women/non-binary/unicorns into sexual activity, dependency and monetary gain.
‘Only I can fix that trauma from your childhood, re-experiencing it in a safe environment with an expert like me will reset your nervous system.’
Spoiler: It will not reset your nervous system.
These People are the Pretenders
There are plenty of men and women who practice various traditions and have walked a path that results in a character full of respect, resilience and wisdom. There is no need for performance or to make their whole identity a plant.
They will be the ones not on TikTok, the ones who don’t own any t-shirts with the symbol of their spirits on them as the spirits don’t like this. It’s a violation of trust.
Those who follow a path with their spirits - who actually communicate with them face to face - are very, very normal. You couldn’t pick them out of a crowd. Maybe a little more something but that’s it.
Their spirits have ensured they have had exposure to the worst life has to offer so they either cease walking their path or they turn into someone Jesus and Hecate would be proud to stand with.
A spiritual path results in courage, freedom and kindness not a house full of swag.
