I need to stay away from the type of spirituality that acts like a comforting drug that enable people to avoid facing the hard reality of the type of challenging world we now live in! The idea that all spiritual “paths” are okay does not give enough credit to those who are really working extremely hard to improve spiritually so as to be able to actually make a real positive difference in this world. So many people have gotten soft spiritually and want to be “enabled” to stay soft and indulging in a fantasy type drug like type of spirituality that helps makes them feel good without them having to do the extremely hard spiritual work required to take on the intense challenges of our times. A lot of the “new age” type spirituality is this way.
My hard hitting spiritual approach guided by spiritual theories that support it just does not appeal to those that are too addicted to a “feel good” type of spiritual approach rather than focusing on one that is strong enough to be effective in our challenging times. Actually achieving constructive results in the real world does give one a positive feeling that is so much stronger and valuable than just some “feel good” drug like spiritual high! Hard spiritual energy is scary, but needed if we are ever going to properly address the really serious problems of the highly advanced technological age we exist in. Hard time are coming which will require a lot more spiritual maturity to be developed by the inhabitants existing on this spiritually backward planet to handle it!
