Spiritual bypassing.

Have you heard about it?

It’s one of those ideas within the bubble of seriously spiritual beings.

Like there’s a ‘real’ and official path to enlightenment, and an ‘unreal’ path, or a path where you don’t take full responsibility as a truly awakening person.

Spiritual bypassing means you skip the process and find a comfortable spot in life.

Or you only care for yourself, and not the whole planet.

Like REAL spiritual people ought to do.

Hahahahaha.

This game is so fucking amazing.

For everything, there is a rabbit hole.

For everything, there’s an alternative.

And another rabbit hole.

Many different gods.

Endless paths.

But of course, you have to take the right one, the real one, the pure one.

Hahahaha.

There’s no secret book with spiritual rules.

There’s no set of behaviors you should learn.

You don’t have to look or sound like anything in particular.

You don’t!

There’s no reward, or a medal.

You don’t have to earn it.

You don’t even have to live it.

The brilliance of this subtle layering.

‘She’s not fully fulfilling her dharma.’

‘He’s just pretending to be spiritual, but he doesn’t really get it!’

Hahahaha.

Spiritual bypassing my ass.

My awakened ass, of course.

Hahahaha!!!
