Spiritual glamour-pusses. Messiah complexes. Flexibility. And that time I sat in a circle of dignitaries sharing the spiritual names that their gurus and shamans bestowed on them. Except I didn’t HAVE a spiritual name, so I introduced myself as “Danielle.” Did the job.
The ego is extra trippy when you bring in “spirituality.” If we want other people to see us as “evolved” (kind, community-focused, good…) then we’ll never be authentic. Or relaxed. Opinions are huge distractions from personal truth.
Real growth comes from internal inspiration, not external motivation.
In this podcast episode, I’m talking about stages of spiritual maturity.
Wanting to be spiritually admired is very different than being spiritually admirable.
Let’s go there. With LOVE.
With Love,
Danielle
