We all have the tendency to follow a path, it's our nature, we have to go somewhere, because our energy is always on the move. We also tend to explore many things, we are curious about things like religion, or anything that inspire us. That's why love and religion are so popular, we need to feel identified with something or someone.
There is nothing wrong with that, it gives us faith. And faith is an important part of life, it moves us and gives us a sense of direction. To me, the only mistake might be, not following your own path.
Spirituality can lead someone to a very wrong path, so it's important to understand this before you even decide to dig deep into this life style.
I have seen how people change the way they talk, the way they believe, the way they think, the way they dress, and the way they use spirituality to avoid reality and our main responsibilities. So it might be another way of going crazy, because craziness is when people get lazy and decide to avoid reality, it's easier to play that card, than to face life and be courageous about it.
Then they forget our role on earth, and get lost in that journey within, it's another way of being trapped, of becoming a spiritual zombie, and to keep ourselves in auto mode.
The main purpose of spirituality is understanding, it's waking up, knowing yourself better, being aware at all times of everything, living in the present moment, being a better you, and growing as much as you can. It helps you to be humble but at the same time gives you the wisdom of understanding your ambition. Because we are here to create, not to close our eyes and meditate forever, feeling a fake peace. It's like sleeping while our day passes, and we avoid action for fantasy.
We end up becoming a victim again, we go deep into another system, the spiritual trap. And the so called spiritual guru's that dare to picture themselves as "leaders" understand this, and take advantage of that weakness. Then again, we understand we can't believe in humans, we have to believe in ourselves.
I feel bad to see how they build those big palaces, and they get so rich so easily, using spirituality to manipulate and benefit from it, brainwashing thousands of people who crave peace and love, and get manipulated in return. They help them build those palaces, and they feel home when they are inside there. At the end it's not so crazy, because part of their money is in many of the bricks that built them.
The less you believe in yourself and you let others wash your brain and stop you from believing in your own power, the weaker you are, the weaker you become, and misery will never stop surrounding you. Because misery is the distance between your own faith and faith in external things or people.
Make sure you don't become a victim of anything, and use everything wisely, or you'll end up being part of the followers,a victim and a person full of misery and not progress.
Namaste
