When spiritual concepts collide with human experience
The other day I had a conversation with a friend about beliefโwhat makes something digestible for the rational mind? We started with extraterrestrial entities, like Bashar, and moved through aliens, Christ Consciousness, and God. But soon, the conversation took a strange turn.
We fell into a kind of spiritual ego loop about the nature of self: โ๐โ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ฆ๐น๐ช๐ด๐ต. ๐๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ตโ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ? I agreed on one level. But at the same time, โIโ had just enjoyed breakfast, and โIโ was also trying to express something. Yet each time I spoke, I felt shut down by this very conceptโlike my experience had no space to exist.
And then โIโ started feeling pain.
So I sat with it. ๐๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐ช๐ด ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ฑ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ? ๐๐ข๐ฏ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต? But I knew better than to bypass it. Instead, I let it rise. I felt it fully while detaching from it. Not pushing it away, but also not becoming it.
And thatโs when I saw herโthe part of me that had felt unheard since childhood. The one who wasnโt taken seriously when speaking about things beyond the norm. The one who was made fun of, dismissed, interrupted. She had been waiting to be acknowledged.
So I held her. ๐โwho doesnโt existโheld ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ, who also doesnโt exist. And yet, something real was happening. I felt the pain, honored it, and in doing so, transcended it.
Sometimes, spirituality can become another way to shut down expression, to invalidate the rawness of human experience. But true transcendence isnโt about denying pain; itโs about making space for it, without attachment, until it dissolves into peace.
