Is Spirituality Keeping You Asleep? Are You Mistaking the Bridge for the Destination?

Although many paths lead to awakening, and there’s no one right way to “get there,” spiritual seekers often get lost in the system of spirituality and never reach the awakened state.

In fact, while on the spiritual path, it is quite common to trade one set of beliefs (dogma, concepts, etc…) for another, especially during Stage 3 of Awakening (please read my article, “The 5 Stages of Awakening”), and although new spiritual beliefs might provide some degree of awakening, trading one set of beliefs for another inevitably inhibits the final stages. Consequently, like a carrot on a stick, awakening is perpetually out of reach!

On the journey of awakening, if you mistake the bridge for the destination, the bridge itself could keep you asleep!

So, what exactly are some of these bridges? 

Although a spiritual bridge can be almost anything, the most popular include:

• Healing modalities (energy healing, etc…)
• Divination methods (tarot, numerology, etc… )
• Mystical experiences (extrasensory perception, mediumship, remote viewing, etc…)
• Gurus, spiritual teachers, shamans, psychic readers, energy healers, etc…
• Plant medicines or psychedelics
• Spiritual practices or traditions
