Spiritual Bypassing – The Trap of ‘Love and Light’
Explicit
Nothing To Be Found by Samuel Gimson
Episode notes
Spirituality isn’t about escaping our pain, bypassing the hard truths, or wearing a mask of perfection. In this episode, I explore the shadow side of the modern wellness industry where “love and light” becomes a cover for denial, suppression, and ego.
We also unpack how rigid ideas (even sacred ones like the yamas) can become performative and harmful if not held with awareness. Real spirituality includes the whole of us, even the parts we’re afraid to face.
