spiritual-bypassing

    9 chronicles exploring this theme

    The Devil: I keep noticing moments when I reach for a spiritual idea, a practice, or a beautiful concept about acceptance and presence, and I wonder whether I am genuinely growing or whether I am using the language of awakening to avoid feeling something I am not yet ready to face. How do I tell the difference between real inner work and a kind of spiritual comfort that keeps me safely asleep?

    Feeling caught between genuine spiritual growth & spiritual bypassing? The Devil card says your chains are loose. It’s Māyā, the illusion of bondage. Recognize your attachments, confront your shadow. True work isn't avoiding discomfort, it's seeing your 'Kundabuffer' for what it is. Consciousness is liberation. #FourthWay #Tarot

    Five of Swords: I know that spiritual bypassing is using spiritual ideas to avoid real pain, but how do I actually recognize when I am doing it to myself, especially when it feels so much like genuine growth from the inside?

    Feeling like growth, but it's a hollow victory? The Five of Swords reveals spiritual bypassing. Are you winning battles against your own pain, only to lose yourself? True growth embraces, not bypasses. #SpiritualBypassing #SelfObservation #InnerWork
