The article explores the concept of spiritual narcissism, where individuals become so immersed in their spiritual journey that it amplifies their ego rather than diminishes it. This phenomenon is often observed in yoga and spiritual communities, leading to toxic behaviors and a lack of true empathy. The author humorously lists 23 things they wish they could express to spiritual narcissists, emphasizing that spirituality should not become a facet of one's personality. The piece encourages readers to approach interactions with such individuals with detachment and humor, advocating for authentic spirituality that fosters connection rather than arrogance.
Spirituality is not a personality. Gurus are not self-appointed. With each exhale, allow your ego to soften and dissipate.
It must take a lot of energy to stay so disconnected from reality. You're clearly channeling something - we're just not sure if it's spirituality.
Perhaps someday your impressive path will guide you toward authentic empathy. Keep your hands to yourself.
Without the right intention, 'sitting in ceremony' is just another performance.
