Who are you kidding! When it comes to spirituality today, it’s become so novel with everything you see on TV and in advertising. The media is using your need to be a part of a community in order to manipulate you into thinking that you are having an awakening, a deep, inner change that can make your life exemplary in the eyes of your peers. Perhaps even inspire them to evolve and grow as a result of this clear change. The media has you caught up in life, running around wasting your energy on illusions, bringing you temporary satisfaction with no long lasting results.

Really? A commercial has you believe that if you purchase a car it will connect you to your inner child and make you feel so good that it’s worth buying. Now, you can fit that into your list of what makes you spiritual. This is complete nonsense. The shift that is occurring right now is about getting you out of that bullsh*t which has become the quagmire of your distractions from yourself and has led you so far away from the true Source of your happiness. What does connect you to your inner child and makes you have an authentic real experience?

You see, to be truly aware in this day and age you are going to have to be a little more discerning with the mound of feathers and fairytales heading your way. If something is telling you that it will be a quick and easy fix if you do or buy this and try that, well, I have news for you: it’s not. Look, I’m not saying that taking the spiritual path should not be easy; however, what I am saying is that it does require consistent work and practice which includes devotion, mental focus, and emotional balance to see you through. The problem with today’s society is that people have become lazy, even withdrawn from hearing the hard truth. You’d rather be told lies just to feel better about yourselves and life. Who wants to live in a shroud of darkness just to act as if they are happy and free when you and I know you are caged? I don’t care how many yoga classes you take and how much raw foods you digest. That doesn’t make you any more spiritual or connected. It’s just another game your ego is playing with you. It knows you will play in return.

In a boardroom somewhere, there is a media pioneer scheming the next way to take what is real and brings real growth to the planet and work it into what is fake, distracting you from what should be your “aha” moment. The resulting message just brings in dollars for xyz mega corp.

If you really want to be a part of this spiritual movement, this golden age, this new era of spiritual awareness, then you better be able to deal with pain because the real truth hurts. Try and remember it’s not your spirit, but your ego at the root of this pain. Your authentic spirit is love. Get raw and real with yourself no matter what, and I know over time and with dedication that you will be that which you seek. Now that is really going RAW! Love you, precious souls of life.
