Great post and an excerpt that stands out from it for me is this ~
“The work of healing and the experience of being healed are simultaneous, reciprocal, and inseparable. Enlightenment is a lived practice rather than a distant goal.”
You speak of two very important things.
1) Spiritual bypass is a form of avoidance from facing Shadow and also can be used to deny our deepest internal wounds that await TLC (which in my experience, are resolved by self-accountability and for sure in communion).
2) Healing the world, Tikkun Olam, is part of living a joyous and fulfilled Life!
Rob, when you say “They retreat into their rituals and practices as a refuge from the noise.” this is practicing religion that started from a quest towards spiritual. Yes?
Brilliant! A beautiful description of things that I have felt but have been unable to articulate … Now, with my moon and Pluto in Leo I am able to see my path of service clearly, thank you! And I bought your book 💕
So so good! Yes, telling the Truth is costly even as it is worthy of the divesture of your social comforts.

Thank you. I really needed to read your words today.
I receive this piece in deep places, feeling moved by so many quintessential reflections. Thank you again and again Rob.
