I broke up with the spiritual community, and here’s why. At first, I was smitten with the crystals, the medicine ceremonies, the energy healing, and the full moon circles. It felt like a portal to another dimension, but I soon realized that much of the modern ‘New Age’ spiritual community is just a victim trap that encourages bypassing real change. This spiritual community victim trap seemed to be a hall of fake mirrors where a deep sense of victimhood was at the root of it all.
Prefer to watch? I’ve put my video below or if you’re a reader simply continue reading the post.
The Hall of Fake Mirrors
I was initially captivated by the idea of a community where everyone believed in something bigger, dreamed of something greater, and spoke the language of alignment, vibration, and truth. However, I eventually saw the illusion.
Everyone was manifesting, but no one was building. Everyone was calling in abundance, but no one actually had money. Everyone was healing, but no one was truly changing.
At its core was a pervasive victimhood… about trauma, money, politics, the world, society, pain, and how hard life is. It left me wondering, does no one see that we are here to change the world? That’s the whole point. Unless we release the victimhood and step into empowerment as creators, nothing will actually change. It’s up to us.
The Spiritual Community Victim Trap: All Talk, No Action
While the spiritual community taught me a lot, I now see it for what it often is a victim trap. I watched people theorize about life rather than live it, much like a business professor who has never actually started a business. I saw enough of that in college. So why was it here too, in a place where people profess to be lightworkers, star seeds, and visionaries, yet no one is actually creating those visions? It felt like all talk and no real movement.
I watched people loop in what they called emotional wallowing, self-expression, and evolution. I watched them obsess over the identity of being a spiritual person rather than actually embodying anything truly spiritual. In some ways, it is almost worse than organized religions; at least they build something. But these damn lightworkers won’t stay focused long enough to see anything through.
Excuses Disguised as Spirituality
I watched people talk about great visions, but the moment it was time to show up and build, they’d claim they had “more healing to do.” Or the energy was “too intense,” so they would stay in bed for a week, telling themselves they were getting activated with downloads. In reality, the only thing getting activated were their avoidant self-sabotage patterns.
I saw people avoid discomfort, coddled by everyone around them, perpetuating these behaviors. I witnessed a community that enabled bypassing any form of ownership or self-accountability, cheering people on for wearing their victim loops like badges of honor. And the worst part was the coddling, which manifested in many forms.
- Coddling disguised as feminine flow
- Procrastination disguised as manifestation
- Self-loathing disguised as healing
- Escapism disguised as ascension
- Apathy disguised as love and light
The True Spirituality of Creation
But you know what doesn’t coddle? Nature. Nature is spiritual, but nature is not soft. The universe is rigorous, unforgiving, and direct. I realized the most spiritual thing I can do is create, to build, to expand.
The most spiritual thing I can do is show the fuck up even when I don’t feel like it.
At the core of our true nature, we are creators. Yet, most of the spiritual community will do anything to avoid actually creating. They’ll tell any imaginable story to excuse themselves from embodying their power and taking ownership of their reality and their actions. That’s not what this world needs.
Who Really Changes the World?
The world needs creators who are committed to seeing the change that needs to happen within themselves and then actually changing themselves. The world needs creators who are willing to see what needs to change in the world and then go build whatever is needed to fucking change it.
The people who change the world most are not the most spiritual or enlightened. They are the most consistent. They are the most committed and devoted to their mission. They are the most tolerant of extreme discomfort, and mostly, they are entrepreneurs. They build businesses with purpose and craft empires out of ideas.
The True Purpose of Spiritual Practices
Now, don’t get me wrong. I still love the ceremonies, and I’ll never knock a good full moon circle, group meditation, or breathwork journey. For fuck’s sake, I teach meditation and energy work. But let’s stop pretending that that’s the only work that matters.
That work is for the expansion of self, to integrate and embody your divine power, and to align you for action. It’s meant to build the bridge between your inner world and the outer one, bridging your divine power into the real world. Spirituality taught me how to open my heart and see a bigger picture, but I’ve had to step back to learn how to actually impact the world.
It’s Time To Build
And that’s what the reality creation process is to me. It’s my process for embodying the energy of radical creation. If you’re still here, you’re probably nodding your head because you’ve walked a similar path. It’s time to build. If you want help breaking out of the loops and embodying your creative power, we have resources designed to help you break free from self-sabotage. You can check the schedule for the next available training event on our site.
It’s time to break the cycles, activate your source code, and build like the creators we are meant to be.
