The Illusion of Being Awake

Lately something has been crossing my mind again and again…

It’s this pattern I keep seeing, especially in what we call “the spiritual community” (a term I honestly cringe at sometimes, but you know what I mean).

We often mistake tools for transcendence.

People start doing things that do have power(ayahuasca, shamanic rituals, therapy, moon ceremonies, plant medicine, breathwork) whatever fits their belief system in that moment.

And instead of staying humble, devoted, open, they crown themselves “healers”, “space holders”, “awakened beings”… all while still deeply ruled by ego, projection, performance, and shadow.

I’m not speaking from above them cause I’ve been there.

After my first dark night of the soul(and many more since then) I had sparks of light too.

With brutal honesty. With devotion. With humility.

This isn’t about calling people out. It’s about waking us all up to the truth:
