Spiritual bypassing

[Rose]

I saw this image the other day

 

 

And wanted to see what are some other examples of spiritual bypassing/what does spiritual bypassing mean exactly

Most of these aren’t actually examples of spiritual bypassing, but rather annoying things that “spiritual” people might do (usually more new-age types).

 

The typical definition is…

 

“Spiritual bypassing involves using spiritual explanations to dismiss or avoid complicated emotions or psychological issues.”

 

An example would be a woman justifying an abortion because she believes that the baby didn’t actually want to be born, and the pregnancy was just a test from God to see if she had the fortitude to continue her spiritual work.

 

Thats a real example from someone I know btw, and yes she is fucking nuts.

Concepts vs direct experience. 

Aversion vs inspection.

Whatever the decision its always the right decision ultimately. I feel its the mothers right if she really does not feel safe, secure, stable and ready to mother a child.

 

When you scratch your skin you kill millions of cells, who gave you that right? You did, you do, creation allows it, there are no right or wrongs ultimately.

 

In some sense she is right, the soul who incarnated (already knew) that they would be aborted, the spirit is existing beyond time/space thus already knows.

Sometimes souls need to experience the experience of abortion for the sake of experiencing it. This may be hard to believe but it is what it is.

When I scratch my skin I do not justify my actions by claiming that rainbow aliens told me it was what my skin wanted - that part would be the spiritual bypassing that is being discussed.

 

Whether right or wrongs exist has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Thanks for the perfect illustration of spiritual bypassing.

Knowing vs not knowing. 

Understanding vs being.

That is your valid, and yet limited perception, I cannot help you there.  I can see you are 'sensitive' to this discussion and there may be underlying trauma there, hence the "trigger".  There is always a teaching/lesson being played out. I trust you will realize it.

By your reply I can see that you are sensitive to this discussion and there may be underlying trauma there, hence the "trigger".  There is always a teaching/lesson being played out. I trust you will realize it.
