Today, we’re going to do it a little differently.
I share things from my own specific lived experiences here but I also want to share the things I witness, experience and hold space for as a guide, mentor and channel for divine remembrance.
Something I see time and time again, when working with people on their journey of unravelling, and re-awakening, is how a return to our spiritual nature, can easily become another mask of the ego.
Another way to bypass doing the true healing, by making our new understandings the superior way of practicing ‘spirituality’ or attempting to out spiritual our humanness.
We make others wrong for how they do or do not ‘practice’ spirituality.
