Sacrifices Of Spiritual Growth

They did not take place as specialists. Career failed. Their self-esteem is like an old fence: everyone can urinate under it, kick it or loosen it. Most likely, their parents still consider them small children: not very smart, not very independent.

Victims of spiritual growth read the books of their teachers to the bone. They believe that everyone will love them too, that they will become enlightened.

Sexy Spiritual Healer

Recently, at an informal meeting with friends in a cafe, I met a girl. My type is a slender blonde with soft features. Thin hands, long hair, charming smile. Chest, butt - everything is in place! We were introduced to each other. Me - as a psychologist, her - as a spiritual healer.

At the words “spiritual healer”, I noticed how her spine stretched slightly upward, giving her owner 5 mm of height. I smiled at this nuance. She thought I smiled at her. The chin of this young and graceful doe leaned forward, at the same time raising its nose above the horizon. She sat down opposite me. The podium position for admiration was busy and now it was possible to start a conversation.

However, I have a difficulty in communicating. The fact is that if a woman in a conversation categorically ignores the fact that she is a woman, I get upset and have to start communicating with her in the context of the image that she herself brings to the fore. In this case, this was her "spiritual healing." By and large, I wasn't interested in what all this crap meant. Because I feel when I have an experienced person in front of me, and when an imitator of experience. Therefore, it was more pleasant for me to imagine her naked to the waist, to think about the silky skin and the smell of shiny hair, to see how she bends in her back …

But alas …

She did not react to my attitude towards her as a woman. For a woman, this is very bad! This means that she has a broken connection with her femininity. And so that she would not flirt too much with spirituality, I had to turn on the psychologist and put her under my microscope, starting to ask uncomfortable logical questions. By the end of the conversation, the "healer" felt dry in his throat, his posture failed, his hands reflexively calmed themselves, and the smile was no longer so charming. Well, you know, a forced smile is never charming …

What is the main mistake of those who are spiritually growing?

I must explain to you the main mistake of people who, thanks to personal growth trainings and various oriental practices, begin to grow spiritually on an industrial scale.

In the natural system of human development, they try to jump from the first stage of development to the last.

Hope you all know Maslow's pyramid of needs?

What is the mistake and problem of almost all spiritually growing ones? - the fact that they have not consistently satisfied all levels of their needs, they try to immediately climb to the top of this pyramid. Where we have self-improvement, self-realization, spirituality, wisdom, etc. Where the inner god is.

Maslow Needs and Spirituality

Physiological Needs: These people may not always have money for food, but they read OSHO and think that they are the chosen ones, so they are fed by the energy of the sun, air or earth. In short, anything you want except proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Or they've read Zeland with his Reality Transurfing and are now frantically visualizing their wealth and luxurious life, lying on a leaky couch. And continuing to lie on this sofa, they establish direct contact with space from their navel. They directly see how a cosmic member enters from the universe and fills their hungry souls.

Need for security: Such people may not have their own apartment, house. Neighbors may catch up with them, they may have health problems - but they, damn it, have known the endless vanity of the material world! Therefore, they are not subject to anything material. They refuse any connection with the material part of the world. They are above all this. They think that they will infect others with their goodness and the world will be in order. But if they can infect with anything, then perhaps a runny nose or gonorrhea. Not more.

Need for belongings: Apart from mom, relatives or a dog, no one likes them. Although I'm not completely sure about the dog. They don't really need friends. And although they begin communication in the hope that this time they will be understood, they again run into a wall of surprise or laughter. And then the voice of artificial spiritual growth whispers to them that this is good, it should be so! They must be independent! Independence is their ticket to the top of paradise for the elite! In reality, their independence is a path to deep and hopeless loneliness.

Need for recognition: They did not succeed as specialists. They are not interviewed. Career failed. They can't do anything with their hands. Their self-esteem is like an old fence: everyone can urinate under it, kick it or loosen it. Most likely, their parents still consider them small children: not very smart, not very independent.

The need for self-realization: They see people whom many love, respect, value: all kinds of gurus in the style of "foolishness." They see those whom they admire, from whom they learn, whom they look up to, who are set as an example. The same astronauts as they are. Our victims of spiritual growth really want to be like them. But they only manage to create a funny parody.

Victims of spiritual growth to their holes read the books of their teachers, meditate on their photographs, go to their trainings. They do everything according to the instructions in order to adopt the thinking of their teachers. They believe that by copying a behavior or a way of thinking, they themselves will soon become the same! That they, too, will be loved by everyone, that they will become enlightened, that self-realization is about to sprinkle out of all the cracks! And finally, the long-awaited happiness will come! But they have no idea that it will not be so.

Of course, you can try to jump over the required steps. Of course, you can have definite and variable successes. But you will never be completely satisfied. You will feel how the shadow of doubt hangs over you and weighs on you with its weight. You will know that you are pretending. You will even understand some of the rules of this spirituality game. She will drag you in and will not want to let go. Yes, and you will be afraid to leave the game. Because if spiritual vibration does not emanate from you within a radius of two kilometers, and your personal growth is less than a lamppost, then what will you be left with?

Who are you without all this tinsel?

Who are you without Zeland?

Who are you without Osho and meditation?

Who are you without trainings, books and other crutches?

Who are you without religion?

In other words, don't try to cheat life!

She keeps strict records.

Do you want to be really set as an example? Do you want people to reach out to you and look up to you? - Well, then do at least something useful! For example, lose a few pounds if you are overweight. You will instantly grow up in the eyes of others! This will be your real personal growth. And no one will argue with that. And health will get better. And you will respect yourself more. And if you respect yourself, then you and others will respect you. And get recognition. Do something useful in practice! Make more money! Fix the fence in your parent's house! Do something measurably useful! And stop having sex with space through your navel!

Do you want to grow spiritually? - then make sure that you have delicious food, stable sex (with good people), regular income, closeness with friends, family, your own business or hobby. Find your allies. Do business! But for this you need to stop thinking that something is wrong with you. That you are missing something. Everything is fine with you! All u-w-e but-r-ma-l-but! After all, spiritual growth is not a striving for an ideal one, but love for a real one. That's all. There is time. Therefore, until you are 50 years old, do not bother at all about spirituality or some kind of personal growth!

Satisfy all material and psychological needs! That is why they are needs, that without them there is nothing. And don't try to cheat life.

And yet … if you think that wanting nothing, being content with little is a sign of spiritual growth, then you are mistaken. I officially declare that wanting nothing in the material world is the most common degradation.
