Psst...Spiritual Folk
Fuck gurus, I live my life by my own rules whether they are wrong or right. As far as I'm concerned, nobody has a secret formula to life. You just live it the way you see fit, make mistakes & hopefully learn & move to the next level. We're all gurus of our own lives. Fuck those who think they know better!

This is why I can't get into Vedic Astrology.
Too Fatalistic.
Too Guru focused.
They really try hard to push gems and crap on you in order to fix your life.

I know right. I made a mistake of subscribing to this tarot reading site, because the free reading were so accurate. Soon after that, the site owner sent me an introduction email telling me that he had American Indian blood & was a shaman, etc. The emails kept coming & I had to block his arse because I felt like he was attempting to brainwash me. His emails said that *I* NEEDED him & he is my last hope etc. LMAO. I don't think so! These people must have inflated egos to think that they have the power to change another person's life for the better. Narcissist much? Please.
If you have to talk and think about being spiritual that's defeating the point. Being spiritual is about being in touch with yourself and if asked, passing your enlightenment on to others who are interested. Being egotistical is a big no no of spirituality, the ones who can't wait to tell you about all the wonderful things they do, it's for their own pride and not so much to help anyone else. I've been spiritual for years now and something I have learned is that being humble speaks louder than any boasting ever could. Yes I drink, yes I eat meat, yes I feel emotions, although trying to harness negative emotions isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's whatever feels right for you as a person and whatever makes you happier at the end of the day.
Things you'll notice with spiritual folk:
- They want you to go Vegan
-Worship the Divine Feminine to an obsessive degree.
- Mention/Worship gods/goddesses from Hindu, yet say they're not religious
-Blame Ego for your negative emotions and pain
- Try to push love as everything and say if you let the love out freely you'll be okay.
They rub my Uranus/Neptune energies so bad...yet can't really put into coherent words why.

I must be really powerful then. Maybe I should be a guru.

I get that you've got legitimate complaints - I've got the same ones. But I'd be hesitant to generalize.
As for the vegan comment, whether it's serious or meant as tongue-in-cheek, I completely understand the push for it. I'm not vegan myself (I eat a lot of seafood and I eat other meat only sparingly), but incorporating some vegan and raw food ideas into your diet can yield substantial health benefits. I don't like the "pressure" to go vegan any more than anyone else, but I do understand why some folks make a big deal out of it.
And as for "ego", yes, it's a huge problem, especially in Western culture. Not the existence of it, but rather our poor management of it.
-Nods- Just stating patterns I've seen from those labeling themselves "Spiritual".
Vegan thing was mentioned since I read one person justifying it by saying: "I could feel the despair the cow felt, the last time I had a burger..."
Saying you absorb low vibrations from eating it...makes me squint.
Ego is a major thing, but they seem to want thing the dead almost and are quick to blame it for a lot of things.
Posted by seraph
You're absolutely right about the ego-killing trend. Most traditions where the ego is addressed as an issue don't advocate "killing" it, because it'll always be there. It's how we perceive and manage it; how much employment we give to it. The ego "death" thing is a modern conceit (fake guru material), and is usually associated with a spiritually "intense" experience where it only "feels" subsumed in oneness with everything - consciousness extending outward (which is the important part.) These experiences do happen, but the "high" from them is impermanent, though it does tend to change a person.
-Nods-
Another thing that rubs me the wrong way is how they seem to take parts of Hindu/Buddist type traditions, etc and pass it off as if it doesn't belong to a religion.
Posted by seraph
I hate that.
And really, I see nothing wrong with appealing to tradition, especially with respect to established methods and practices. It's very grounding, and it keeps one from over-innovating. When it comes to practices, colouring too far outside the lines can lead to serious (mental and even physical) problems.
Agreed. They seem to to push all oneness blending to the limit without thinking of the drawbacks of doing that at all...
Well I only skimmed thru the first page, but it can be that spiritual folks believe that their physical desires are diametrically opposed to their spiritual growth. I don't really disagree with them. I've tried both life paths.

Just curious, whats your opinion on divine feminine energy?

It balances out divine masculine energy. When you over-emphasis one, you suffer for it.
We all have both within us, what you do with it is a different matter.
Both can be constructive or destructive, based on how you express and use it.
do you ever invoke the goddess?
I think your spirit may be trying to tell you something if all these things are rubbing your anus the wrong way it could be you need to evolve and resurface from the masculine divine you may be swimming in??_..mind you I don't mind being drenched in testosterone laden man sweat now and then its just that It can get rough and hard to navigate the treacherous seas.
When I was younger I tuned my nose up at a lot of things that I perceived as weak but it turned out they were essential for me to learn how to not be an asshole which I was.
Its amazing how much our society is balancing itself out now, everyones becoming more comfortable with their sexuality, people are a lot less afraid of empowered women, awareness and compassion towards animal cruelty in on the rise and the consciousness of unconditional love is surfacing.
all this and your anus is itching??_.its a sign embrace the fact that your a tranny

I think none, because what usually spiritual people do are repressing their humanness. Real spiritual people are independent people. They are not afraid of their emotions, they don't shut themselves down from feelings and entire world. They let themselves feel, because that's how they accept themselves for being who they really are. Humans.

The alternative is guru-dome, and all gurus are corrupt. It's wrong to allow a young and impressionable person to —imprint?? on you without at some point kicking them away into adulthood, self-responsibility, and individuated identity. Gurus, as far as I can tell, don't do that. The relationship is expected to be permanent, with the —guru?? constantly elevated and in judgement of the —student.?? I use quotes because the roles are universal, the guru can be counselor, influential teacher, business leader, or even parent; the student a pupil, follower, child, or even customer. In the best case scenario, the student never fully trusts their own judgement and perceptions of the world. In the worst case scenario, the guru abuses of the student (financially, sexually, or in other vampiric ways).
