I have been looking for the words or the right term to describe what it is that has infuriated me on and off about some of the ideologies that I have seen on Facebook and in the behaviors of some around me. And thanks to Asteria Chthonia SeesFar for introducing me to what is a new concept for me.Its called Spiritual Bypassing: A term first coined by author John Welwood. The spiritual bypass is the tendency to jump to spirit prematurely, usually in an effort to avoid various aspects of earthly reality (practical challenges, unresolved emotions and memories). The bypass has many symptoms- radical detachment from one’s self-identifications,a blatant disregard for others while using Spiritual Ideology, ungrounded behaviors, starry eyed bliss trips and wish-full thinking. I personally find it very comforting to know that I am not alone in feeling this phenomena. Have you?
