When we're caught up in the grosser forms of spiritual bypassing, we'd usually much rather theorize about the frontiers of consciousness than actually go there, suppressing the fire rather than breathing it even more alive.
Ever heard of spiritual bypassing? It’s when people use spirituality to dodge their real emotions and problems. In this episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast', Darren Littlejohn teams up with Robert Augustus Masters PhD to dive into this tricky topic. They break down how spiritual bypassing can sneak into recovery, making it harder to face those tough feelings head-on. Instead of dealing with emotional pain, some might hide behind spiritual practices, missing out on true healing.
Darren and Robert chat about the need for authenticity in spiritual circles and why it’s crucial to tackle emotions rather than push them aside. Robert's quote sums it up perfectly: 'when we're caught up in the grosser forms of spiritual bypassing, we'd usually much rather theorize about the frontiers of consciousness than actually go there, suppressing the fire rather than breathing it even more alive'.
If you’re on a recovery journey and want to dig deeper into your emotional and spiritual growth, this episode is a must-listen. Get ready to challenge yourself and embrace genuine healing.
