Spiritual Bypassing Pt. 1

 

 

Why do I call this spiritual bypassing? 

I call this spiritual bypassing because desires are valid, 100% of the time, in my perspective. We are fucking human beings, if we wanted to want nothing and to live in complete surrender and to not ask for things, we wouldn’t have incarnated into human bodies that want things and have preferences. What would the point have been? Even Eckhart Tolle decided after being in almost complete surrender for years, living mostly on park benches in complete bliss, woke up one day and was like “hm, maybe I should go join society again.” 

Because we aren’t meant to live entirely in surrender without a single desire. 

 

This is like, the inception of spiritual bypassing because really the only person it’s affecting is yourself. It’s all happening internally and we don’t realize that it has potential to have huge impact on our external reality. 

When we say something like “I just need to surrender and stop wanting this thing at all.” Or we use spirituality as an excuse for why we don’t have it yet, we are basically invalidating our own desires. It’s one thing to say “I lived, I learned, I realized through lived experience that I don’t actually want that thing.” But to sit around and act like you don’t want something because the universe is sending you a direct message that says “this thing isn’t meant for you" is, in my opinion, not rooted in reality. 

If the universe is rooted in complete non judgment, unbiased opinion, unconditional love, and has no desire to put a hand in impacting our freewill, then the universe is never trying to tell us something isn’t meant for us because that would require judgment. 

In my own life I realized recently that I have been running my business for the past couple years now rooted within a lot of spiritual bypassing. I wanted to completely surrender my business, which looking back I can see meant that I basically wanted to do nothing and have it all delivered to me on a silver platter. & in doing so I ignored the parts of my business and my habits, that weren’t serving it positively. I had to stop believing that the universe wasn’t supporting my actions or the work I’d been led to do in the first place. 

Once I admitted that I was spiritually bypassing by attempting to stay in complete surrender with little to no action, I could admit that I was actually leading my business to a potentially dangerous place. 

& if you’d like to know what to do if you recognize this within yourself, I will be back with a part two next week because I don’t want to leave you all hanging with a problem and no solution.
