The Dangers of Spiritual Elitism

Really resonates, thank you for sharing.

Also noting a kind of vibrational elitism; where certain spaces on the vibrational continuum are shunned and even attacked. Not sure how this perspective works toward healing through wholeness and integration. I know in my own healing journey, the more I listen too, acknowledge and allow my more wounded parts, the easier time I have of getting my aspects to work together. Slicing and dicing only made for greater separation and resistance.

Anyhow, nice article, thanks again.

SPIRITUAL ELITISM...Great article, thanks.

Some groups seem so sincere, real...I feel it can be difficult to tell at times. I go with my heart and it usually works well, but once in a while, I still get a bit confused and I do enjoy sharing with other like-minded people. I READ AND WATCH SOME OF THE POSTS BY CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS AND SOMETIMES FEEL ILL WHEN I SEE THE ELITIST, ARROGANT VERBAGE! 

Are there any groups that have truly checked out others to see if they're on the level? Maybe even have insightful information on fraudulent individuals or groups? 

Thanks,

PS

I do realize that there may be cases of the pot calling the kettle black, but worth a shout!

Great article, Will! I couldn't agree more. The best voice is found within, and even though we can help each other along the way, to focus on one person who thinks they're 'more enlightened' than the rest of us is to give our sacred power away. We're our own guides/gurus/teachers.

Much Love :)

Your short paragraphs shout a perfect message.  Many people are becoming "spiritual" but are just changing one non-working belief system for following another non-working belief system.  There are a number of these spiritual "gurus" here in Los Angeles.  One in particular has a following and evangelistic followers, and I stay far away from them.  Spiritual growth is from within -- if you follow someone else's path or direction, you are losing your individual path.  I love channeled Abraham's material because they present an understanding and doable techniques, not any dogma.

Thank you for such a clear message about our tendency to idolize, separate, and diminish ourselves -- and I accept even that!

I know another way now., but I haven't fully integrated that way  - maybe never will.  Having grown up with a belief in authoritarian righteousness, I still find myself setting people up (especially "spiritual teachers") as being on a higher level than myself.  It is still shocking to me when I find out that these spiritual teachers have moments (and maybe days?) of egoism, separatism , personality issues -- themselves.  Staying "right sized" (whatever that means) is something the "little I " cannot do.  Being centered in Spirit takes practice and some vigilance - and most of all, a letting go.  That has been my experience, and tomorrow it will be different.  I'm here and willing. . . .
