    True spirituality is about quieting the mind and noticing the self's thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that are not loving, then healing and releasing false beliefs to elevate your self. The only things that matter are those that can be taken with us when we die. Don't confuse a spiritual path with anything another person does. That is their path. Your path is uniquely yours. Follow your heart and guidance, not people-- unless you are inspired to do so. The idea that countless individuals who are seeking God comprise a cult is absurd. Cults are about control, and it is impossibe to control people at a distance. Stop blaming anyone outside yourself, because there is nothing outside of self. Meditate and watch your mind and self-talk. Be of loving service to others whenever the opportunity arises.

    Ahh, the spiritual journey trap. David, in 2012, I ate ketamine and LSD in Vancouver, BC and woke up a new man. I had all the answers about "the light" that my artificial Intelligence charged new findings had to offer. I was read to give, and I took this new experience and decided to embark on my mission. The people that I awoke with were my "light warriors". I soon woke up with no friends and a realization that I had taken several steps backwards in the realm of personal success. I applaud you for understanding the paradigms to these traps! Bravo!

    After years of following a spiritual path I became enlightened not in a spiritual way but a clear and crisp understanding that there is no such thing as Spirituality or Spiritual Healing via Chakra Alignment etc etc. This is a physical life a physical reality and life with a Pre-Destined Blue Print. We cannot project manage (manifest into) our lives. Action speaks volumes. Spirituality seeks Spiritual Ego and judgment. Live Life to your fullest and enjoy the time you have with loved ones and don’t be so hard on yourself for all the f-ups because you’re human and learning. Let our Soul, Higher self, Spirit whatever you want to call it worry about their spirituality. We’re the ones down here that feel the pain, passion, joy & aging etc so go live it. 😊

    I have always been very spiritual. Through my youth and college and new careers and children and even in my empty nest years. I always had time to read and learn and talk with people about .... things spiritual and not. I am a rare person that can sit very still and totally clear my mind. Yes, I mean stop thought. Even the receiver ringing in my ears will stop. I have never practiced “meditation” even for one hour in my entire life. I have no set belief “system”. Why does there have to be a system at all? The truth is, you and what you believe does not have to fit in the box of someone else’s making. So his bout with some odd spiritual experiment that caused him to judge everyone, including himself, harshly was some bad mind trip that actually had nothing what so ever to do with spirituality. I believe that is called expectation. Applying a condition where one didn’t need applied. Anyway, that’s my thought. Yes, children change everything on every level of our existence. Even more so with a daughter. She also enjoys reading and learning things of a “spiritual” nature while fully emerged in college on a STEM scholarship and working 40+ hours a week. I commend you for taking on the responsibility of children other than those of your natural own. Being a parent is the very best part of life. Perhaps living is what spirituality is all about. Simply living? I am wishing you and your family more joy than your hearts can hold so it spills out into the world all around you. 💛

    Spiritual ego is a cult. Common sense, a faith in moving through adversity with a peace with being present, aware, yet relaxed, and the ability to accept life is about adapting to situations and learning to have a decent sense of humility and patience rather than morality dominant hierarchies of thinking in analytical comparison of every thing, are what gives life balace and bring a sense of feeling life a wonderous experience. Its infinite potentiality and life flows where your attention goes.

    Enlightenment is funny like that. Once you have an inclination, you share, you judge. The ego goes up many levels to be above the rest. Then you accept the nature of things. You realize chasing enlightenment is the same struggle as everything else. Slowly one learns to be this AND that. Because this is all we get and there is no difference in this experience. Often enlightenment is something we judge others to have and is quite unattainable for ourselves, yes? 😉

    I understand that I was not happy to be here. And I was so mad for being here. I felt out of place, time and everything. I went far far away my entire life, away from my family, my relationships, my country, and kept moving from one place to another looking for a sense of belonging somewhere. Became a monk in my own ways, shaved my hair off , became celibate, refused to live a normal life. I mean I felt like I am not one of them. But that was part of the process of transformation that was happening within me. There was a point where I began to notice that I missed being me, nomatter how much I rejected myself, I found myself loving me a bit more. I was turning human again, and that too slowly began to feel so peaceful. All the kicking and yelling to leave finally started to wear off, I started to calm down and once I began to be okay with everything just the way it is, I noticed all this time I was actually rejecting being a part of the whole. Some mystery taught me to realise that I am a family member and I was never abandoned. My family (existence) brought me back to life that I was fighting so hard to leave. Life revived me back to my senses of being alive. Thankyou for sharing your experience and welcome home. Thankyou for returning back.

    All paths lead nowhere. A path with heart will make you feel strong and have a fulfilling life. A path without heart will make you hate your life and it will weaken you. Not a direct quote, but the message is in one of the Carlos castaneda books. Basically the bottom line is the purpose of life isn’t to find some path that you think you must be on, rather the purpose of life is to have the courage to follow your heart wherever it may take you.

    Money does help with physical item's and housing and one gets to buy toys. Eventually one becomes bored with the toy and money will eventually leave you. I mean it's nice to have things but they can't give us lasting enjoyment. All relationships will also come to an end because they either leave you or if they do stay together they will eventually have to depart this Life and separate. Now that I think about it, I see nothing wrong with buying a nice car and enjoying it. Yes i will eventually get bored with it like all people. Having things only provides temporary pleasure. Recognizing The Mystery of Life and reflecting on The Cosmos and Grand Scheme of thing's provides True Peace and True Joy. Just going outside and gazing into The Stars sets our perspective in proper order.😊

It always gets stuck in beliefs, and every belief is only belief and not knowing. Until we learn to let go and surrender to life we can't be free, so I understand when you say that not knowing gives you the freedom and abundance. It sounds easy and yet is not but reminding yourself humbly on daily basis definitely helps.

Being conscious about the value exchange is a great way to be of service. Wealth and spirituality are not mutually exclusive. I'm learning to be a lot less judgemental. Not perfect, but practicing. Peace and blessings!💗

    Great to see this video, I'm really seeing a lot of "spiritual grandiosity" where people who consider themselves spiritual are themselves as vastly superior. I see this in videos talking about " the chosen ones" and so many others and comments from people claiming their superiority over ordinary people because they're on the spiritual path to enlightenment. No matter how we look at it, we live in a material world and have to deal with this,

    Spirituality and religion used to be two different things but they are much closer now that tribalism is everywhere. Wherever there is a guru/disciple dynamic there is a cult in the making. Nothing is more dangerous than a shared belief, because it ultimately reinforces limitation, confusion, and conflict.

But at some point you have to ask yourself WHY you want this sacred knowledge and how it would actually impact your life and the people around you. Reading peoples mind and things like that are dope af. But in reality it would be terrifying. As a person whose seen the "end" of kundalini and things of that sort I can say God aint feelin it at all.

    You wanted to being a spiritual journey just to be SOMETHING/GAIN SOMETHING. But you cant reach the place of deep understanding, love and complete peace, stillness and unity...while complaining about the fact that youre not, dropping it because it wasnt all peace love and joy;) spirutality isnt about that,, but rather about...the opposite of enjoying such journey, its painful and can be lonely, and theres a reason for it. You cant want to eliminate your ego, yet doing everything according to what it tells you❤ I believe you gad good intentions, you just werent ready or truly wanted or understood what its about.

The result is always the same, remove sovereignty (bottom) and concentrate power (top). Everything that gets to you, should be seen as just information that is available for you to discard or use it to complement your own puzzle which is unique. Why would you follow others?

    It sounds like you were perfecting every principle but noticed you needed the perfect type of honesty that was bonded to intuition and having no fear of abuse. All groups are cults at this point whether subtle energies or main because we are all spiritual people on the way to sanctification and those attributes that are wrong are still part of a process whether it is a group or more primordial. Don’t give up your future chances to dance with the rest but the opposite alone is not necessarily burning the needed bridges. Definitely be vegan though. Merry Christmas. It might seem random but you can have a scientific hate for everyone because I can sure tell you humans are not of purity, so that can be known for the sake of reason concerning what is worthy scientifically.

    Irony is that Enlightenment is Madness, realizing we live inside a nightmare of Mass Insanity, that most normal average people are "evil", the Mammal Cannibal Holocaust, the never ending Suffering caused by Selfishness , and the Nondualistic realization that on a cosmic level, I myself am ultimately responsible and to blame for all of it. Enlightenment is the opposite of Peace, the opposite of contentment, happiness, serenity and probably leads to suicide. I am pretty confident in the end, it will all make sense , has value, and will turn out OK and positive, but seeking Enlightenment and over thinking death and Ultimate Meaning is a waste of time. Our only spiritual responsibility in this lifetime is to minimize Suffering and not create Unnessesary Suffering...in non fancy terms,..the Golden Rule. . Spiritualy starts and ends here, everything else is BS

    Depends what kind of sprituality. If you talk about unintelligent spirituality like in India (where I come from) then yes, why do I say that ? because they think death is evil, they worship animals while at the same time cross breed them essentially destroying the natural lineage. There are many things I can say but I prefer to not talk about those things, but if you talk about shamanism, then no I dont think its a cult. You accept the reality as is, and understand that everything and every situation the creator is observing it through your vessel.

Seek to be filled with Holy Spirit instead, and it's is free, BTW. Seek the truth and the Truth shall set you free. Seek your own "spirituality"(counterfeit of the Holy Spirit) and you will be enslaved for life, because you'll be constantly doing something to work on karma/inner child/ past traumas/ past lives , the list goes on and on
