Are you addicted to the spiritual high? Do you think that once you have mastered your spirituality or your meditation practice, your life will now automatically be all great and functioning perfectly? Are you constantly chasing an ideal? Do you crash when you aren’t able to be in that perfect meditation state? Is your life a series of highs and lows, dependent on your spiritual work?
We often live our lives looking for that high, whether it be through love, alcohol, sex, food, gambling, exercise, or yes, even spirituality. Yet, we don’t think of spirituality as possibly being an addiction, but it can be.
True Spirituality should be an everyday thing, where the highs AND the lows are a part of it. There is no such thing as shoving away, or resistance in true spirituality. True spirituality leads to a deep and even state that exists regardless of outer circumstances, judged good or bad. It’s a way of being, not a way of practicing.
