Yes, the relaxation effects induced by my morning exercise. As per usual, I was greeted by the writing muse and I recorded notes on my phone which brought upon this entry.
I feel inspired to write about how "Spirituality" has become the new Religion. A Dogma. A Doctrine. Rules to abide by with specific criteria that must be met for you to be "Spiritual".
Let me be very clear about my perspective coming from years of doing my own Human Homework and exercising and sharing my developed psychic and mediumistic skills.
I do not perceive the work that I do nor my skills to be under the title of "Spiritual". These skills are of the Human and are a part of Existence. Using the title of "Spiritual" and "Spirituality" assumes that one must be interested in spiritual topics for it to become Real. No no no no. These skills are just talents encoded within the Human Species. Reflexive, Autonomic, and Systems that are as Real as every other physical system housed within the human body. Do you need to be "interested" in cardiovascular health for it to become real and for you to care about your heart health? No.
The new Religion. The new Dogma. The new Doctrine.
Before I go any further, remember that I am team Medium and team Psychic. I cheer on all those genuine, authentic practitioners who have discovered their skills, developed their skills, and choose to honor them in service to others. Those who are just Worker Bees for the Divine. I think it is important for me to emphasize this because...out of context...it may be perceived that I am attacking my fellow intuitives.
But "Spirituality" as the New Religion, yes.
This can be on both sides of the coin - the two extremes. Those who are in the camp of 'Love & Light' who do not acknowledge the validity of darker forces and who spiritually bypass day in and day out. Then there's the other camp of those who acknowledge the darker aspects of Existence, but are so consumed by their own inner wounds and psychological fragmentation that everything is perceived as a spiritual trap.
In both camps, the Doctrine of both dictate that you must abide by the list of acceptable topics and viewpoints otherwise you are declared "The Other".
I don't want to be censored nor abide by what others deem acceptable for me to believe which is why I am very solitary in my work. I have no desire to formulate a Costume Identity for the online, social media world to attract thousands of followers so I can soothe any inner wounds and feed a need for validation.
I actually expose myself to varying ideas in the umbrella of "Spirituality" and I have strengthened my discernment skills so I am not easily influenced by anyone who has a platform.
I witness these tribes of cultish like behavior within both camps.
The thing to know is that you cannot know what people on the internet are actually doing in their work and in their lives. Their Human Homework. Their Healing Marathon.
It is imperative for everyone to take part in their own psychological reconciliation so their perceptions are not skewed by the trauma housed within their Psychic Wiring.
And let me be clear about this: I am not perfect. I am on my own Human Homework journey, I have my blindspots, I have moments of reacting to my triggers, and I do not claim to know everything. However, I strive to maintain a state of observation so I can release myself from the chords tying me to my inner wounds and the habitual pull to be reactive.
If you find yourself reading this article then I suggest for you to really examine who you are following, what you're accepting from them to be "truth", and to see if you're viewing XYZ video as a means to distract yourself from your own psychological process of releasing yourself from that which plagues your Psychic Wiring / Subconscious.
