“Spiritual bypassing—the use of spiritual beliefs to avoid dealing with painful feelings, unresolved wounds, and developmental needs—is so pervasive that it goes largely unnoticed. The spiritual ideals of any tradition, whether Christian commandments or Buddhist precepts, can provide easy justification for practitioners to duck uncomfortable feelings in favor of more seemingly enlightened activity. When split off from fundamental psychological needs, such actions often do much more harm than good.

“We only need to be one person.
We only need to feel one existence.
We don't have to do everything in order to be everything, because we are already infinite. While we are alive we always contain a future of multifarious possibility.”

“Ja kāda nodarbe tev ir svarīga, nav būtiski, ka citi saka: tu to nevari. Varbūt tu nekad nekļūsi par labāko pasaulē. Bet, ja ieguldīsi nebeidzamas darba stundas, tu varēsi kļūt diezgan prasmīgs gandrīz jebkurā jomā.”
― Toms Kreicbergs, The Cat King of Havana
