Spiritual arrogance is a phase that every awakening master and those walking the spiritual path will go through and experience more than once and on many different levels. Spiritual arrogance is your biggest block, but will also be your biggest teacher, it will stop you from progressing but it must be experienced and then cleared.
It is important to understand that there is no right or wrong in the energetic world, it is all just energy. Every human is experiencing it how they are meant too, there is no right or wrong path. No higher or lower path, just a path. It is when you judge another’s path that energy blockages form.
By placing yourself on a higher path or by judging another’s paths you are enticing spiritual arrogance. You are saying that their path has no meaning or relevance therefore it is not important. It may not be important to you but it certainly is to them.
A true spiritual master enters a room in a state of complete humbleness, zero judgement, equal to all in their presence. There is no hierarchy, no one person better or worse just all on different paths and different levels, at different stages and different vibrations. All with different levels of awareness.
Spiritual arrogance can be recognised by a few familiar statements and one’s similar;
‘I know’
‘I’ve cleared that’
‘I’ve been working on myself for years I’m good’
‘I’ve dealt with that and it’s no longer an issue’
‘Don’t you understand who I am!’
Spiritual arrogance is a protruding energy that places one’s self above another, at times it can play out as ‘look at me’ or an arrogance towards others with the attitude of what they say is correct and everybody else is wrong. A belief that others offer little to no value.
Let me guide you and not because I have all the answers, I don’t, but because I have experienced it and I still do. I am human, don’t forget.
If an issue pops up or somebody offers you feedback or an insight into yourself there is always on some level an element of truth within it no matter how much you think you have dealt with it or let it go or don’t see it relevant. In the energetic world there is always another layer to delve into, always another layer to unravel and unpack, process and release. By saying it’s not relevant you are placing a block within your field and halting any chance of that energy being processed and released, you are blocking your spiritual progression. You are in denial.
I cannot tell you how many times ‘Spiritual Gurus’, followed by millions have stated ‘I don’t need your help, you have nothing to offer me’. When in fact they have just been given them their biggest lesson and shown the door by the individual. An opportunity to realise that they are not the next best thing to sliced bread, that they are still human whilst in a human body and that the ego will find a way to shine.
Can you not go down this path? No, I am sorry to say you can’t not experience this. You must see and feel this yourself and if you don’t be prepared to halt your progress. But you won’t see this either, not until you are slapped out of it by an event, someone else or your own ah-ha moment.
There are things you can do to give yourself better foresight into what’s going. Observe your behaviour, is your ego running the show, are you using the above phrases and if so why.
Be open and honest with yourself. Ask yourself on a regular basis what you’re in denial about, if you cannot think of anything then you are in denial about being in denial. It’s time to take responsibility for you, accept what is coming at you, take a look at it, acknowledge it and deal with it. You have nothing to lose. Sometimes just a simple acknowledgement is enough and other times you will need to process it on a much deeper level. Take action and be responsible for you, your thoughts, your actions and sometimes your inactions.
You can work through our spiritual arrogance faster. First of all, acknowledge that you don’t have all the answers, that you are not above or anymore important than another human being. Secondly start doing the opposite of what the ego wants you to do.
· You want to speak up and be heard – be silent
· You want exert your knowledge on to others – ask other what they think
· You want to be seen – slip into the background, give others the limelight
· You are chasing accolades – be humble
The third step is to start listening to feedback even if you don’t think it is true, act as if it was. Your most popular phrase should become ‘Thank you, I will look at that’. Process the information as if it were true, observe your feelings and any insights into your behaviour. There will be nuggets of gold throughout the process and you will come out the other end a changed person and for the better.
Most of all remember that there is always more learning to do and always another layer to clear no matter how far down your spiritual path you are. If you are reading this and thinking none of this applies to you, I am sorry to say you are wrong. This was written with love just for you.
We are all beings of light here to have an experience and we are all on and at differing levels and parts of that journey. Respect the journeys of others and respect your true self.
