Traps & Pitfalls

Image of stage 8 of the spiritual wanderer's journey

(See: The Spiritual Wanderer's Journey Overview)

None of us are immune to falling into the many spiritual traps and pitfalls that exist out there. These snares cause us to become stagnant in our growth and imprisoned to limiting desires and beliefs.

Attachment and aversion, ego inflation, spiritual materialism, and spiritual bypassing are some of the main traps and pitfalls we tend to fall into on the spiritual wanderer's journey. By shining a light on them, we liberate ourselves from illusion and delusion, becoming more spiritually mature.

Below, youโ€™ll find help for this part of the journey.

(For an in-depth overview of this entire awakening process, see our illuminating Spiritual Wanderer Course.)
