~ Spiritual Bypassing

Essential Point:

Spiritual Bypassing is a Form of Toxic Spirituality through which you use Spiritual Concepts as a Coping Mechanism to process Life Situations, and in doing so, avoid taking True Responsibility for your Level of Consciousness and making True Progress on the Awakening Journey.

Overview:

Spiritual Bypassing refers to the potential danger of using Spiritual knowledge conceptually to avoid taking Responsibility for your Consciousness and well-being so that your Spiritual practices contract you instead of expand you. Spiritual Bypassing is a Form of Toxic Spirituality and is evidence of Spiritual Ego that can be quite subtle to the untrained eye.

An example would be saying “I’ll be called to it” so that you don’t have to try out anything or participate in anything in Life. With this view, you Believe you can just be a “Couch Potato” and “Manifest” everything, even though this isn’t how True Manifestation works.

Spiritual Bypassing is using Spirituality as a shield to protect yourself from getting Hurt, and thus it is ultimately disguised Fear, which is disguised Ego. This is how and why Spiritual Bypassing is evidence of the Spiritual Ego.

The best way to tell if you are falling into the Spiritual Bypassing trap is to assess if your Spiritual Practices are contracting you or expanding you. True spirituality can only be expansion as it is quite literally a process of Energy Expansion, which ultimately makes you feel more Light, more Peaceful, more Present, more Connected, and more engaged with Daily Life.

However, if you notice that your Spiritual Practices are making you feel more contracted, which is to say more apathetic, more depressed, more despondent, more detached (which is not the same as nonattached), and overall less at Peace in Life so that you don’t feel like you have the Energy to participate, it is possible and perhaps even likely that you are trapped in Spiritual Bypassing and are misusing or misinterpreting the Essential teachings of Spirituality.

More specifically, if you are stuck in Spiritual Bypassing, it is more likely that you understand Spirituality on the Level of Mind, but have not yet fully Realized the Teachings on the Level of Being, which is where they must be Realized for the Essential Shift in Consciousness to occur.

Spiritual Bypassing is a common trap, in which people get Lost and stuck, and so it is recommended for best practice within Spiritual Hygiene to regularly assess how your Spiritual Practices are making you feel with radical honesty and transparency. If your self-evaluation shows you that you are in fact stuck, that’s okay. The simple Awareness of noticing your “stuckness” will ultimately be what dislodges you from the trap. Step back and pause your Spiritual Practices for a week or so to simply observe your Mental-Emotional patterns.

You must be fully honest and transparent here, this is crucial – can you sense any Fear, even in its smallest trace, behind any of the Spiritual Truths, Practices, and Behaviors you’ve been engaging in? Take an inventory of your past month of behavior and see where Fear may have been disguising itself as Spirituality. Don’t Judge this, just set the intention to observe and notice. Maintain this heightened Awareness for some time to bring all disguised Fear, or Spiritual Ego, to the surface and then reset the intention of your Spiritual Practices to be a Source of Connection to Truth and all Life so that you can continue to Ascend in Energy into Oneness.
