If you hate Donald Trump it’s because you are projecting your shadow and you don’t see his role in the collective’s rise to consciousness
Unfortunately, he is exactly what the collective consciousness of the west deserves right now
A multicultural liberal society can only work for a very brief moment in time, while there’s still a deeper underlying unity that exists from a dominant majority culture that supplies the necessary social cohesion for this liberal utopia to thrive.
But liberalism steadily uses up that cohesion while pretending it doesn’t need it.
It lives off the pre-liberal social capital of a family structure, national identity, shared religion, and common conceptions of civic duty until it eventually dissolves all of those those things in the name of trying to build the fully autonomous self-actualized universal gender fluid floating bundle of rights that we once called “man” but can no longer assign a gender specific name to because that’s not sufficiently pluralistic.
Liberalism dissolves the very world that sustains it, and it replaces that world with a fractured and atomized one that becomes too weak for abstract rights and neutral procedures to hold it together for long.
The last thing liberalism dissolves is itself.
So many who turn to spirituality and religion desperately need (good) therapy.
While many who have been in psychotherapy for years could benefit from the higher inspiration that a spiritual framework could offer.
If you engage in psychotherapy for too long, you may end up digging in your unconscious for so long that you'll think the basement of your psyche (with all your unresolved needs and traumas from childhood) is where all paths lead to.
If you focus on spiritual practices and concepts while neglecting your early childhood developmental wounds and any trauma you experienced, you become highly susceptible to spiritual bypassing.
Without understanding the patterns that shaped you, you could turn to spirituality or religion as a way to create a new spiritual identity that is cut off from who you truly are.
It is possible to access higher states of consciousness through spiritual practice and yet still be psychologically unstable, emotionally immature and have terrible relationships.
It's also possible to get stuck in psychotherapy for decades, digging into your past and childhood for so long that your problems get worse.
This is why we need both on the path of awakening: psychology and spirituality.
A deep understanding of the human psyche which acknowledges the need for us to develop a relationship with the sacred and our spiritual nature. A path that acknowledges the human aspect of us, the soulful aspect of us, and acknowledges that we are also spiritual beings.
Life changes drastically when you understand your psyche while also developing a reverent connection to God and all other living beings. What use are certain spiritual or religious concepts unless they are being practiced in our daily human relationships?
Psychological awareness can help us learn about ourselves, change harmful conditioned patterns, and improve our relationship skills, which can help us bring spiritual values like love, compassion, and equanimity into our everyday lives in a grounded way.
A path that includes both psychology and spirituality can help you bring God into your everyday life and relationships.
This is how we can have the awakened, soulful, and loving relationships that so many long for.
This is how we can create awakened families and communities.
By acknowledging the human, the soul, and the spirit, we find true integration.
When we acknowledge all parts of our being, that we are aspects of the divine expressing itself in a soul having a human experience, we can heal our fractured selves, this fractured world and become truly whole - and holy.
The fact people are still using mental gymnastics to downplay the massive outbreaks of cancer tells you just how deep the programming really is. If you still can't accept what facilitated this there's no hope of ever getting through to you. Guess what.. It hasn't even peaked yet.
