Ego me or Spirit me

There is no such thing as the old me and the new me. Myself in the past or in the future. The 'I' is always in the present moment, the now that includes it all already.

There is no such thing as the dark or light side of me. I am the cycle and coherence of both co-creating together, always and everywhere.

There is no such thing as ego or my 'higher self'. We are both a system that needs each other to make sense. We dance together. We are actually inseparable.

There is no such thing as my spiritual self or my bodily form. Both of those things are who I am. Together, they make sense. Alone, they don't.

It's like your breath. If you only inhale or only exhale, you die. You are not material nor divine. You are full or you are empty, but you are not alive here and now.

The spirit needs the matter. The matter wants the spirit.

They breathe together. They dance. They co-evolve and co-create. They are in love.

If you think your body and its story are meaningless or it's a lie, your spirit will end up suffering.

If you believe your body is in any way separated from your spirit, you will most likely also suffer greatly at some point.

...

Many 'spiritual' people seem to talk about their bodies almost as if they were talking about their egos. With the same judgment, resentment, fear, shame, and also the same self-delusions and unconscious programs.

They are mentally and psychologically detaching from their physical bodies in the same way they believe they have detached themselves from the ego. It's very funny to observe.

And also a bit sad.

Because of how much they seem ignorant of the fact that their relationship with their bodies and egos is probably the clearest and most performant indicator of their actual 'spiritual' level, or I would rather say their authentic state of consciousness and the stage of its integration processes.

The more they cherish and love their ego with compassion and love, and their bodies with pleasure and care, the happier their spirit will be and expanding naturally.

Most people would agree with the last statement. Except maybe ... some could be stuck with some sort of incomprehension about the word 'pleasure' in there.

In fact, when we talk about spirituality and pleasure as something interdependent, things start getting really interesting.

...

Most religions have many things to say about pleasure and more specifically they have a very large script of prohibitions and some kind of punishments about most of the bodily pleasure-related concepts. Including food, sex, relationships, work, and even praying or playing with our physical form.

It's funny to me when some say, 'I am not religious, I am spiritual,' but energetically speaking, they are actually following the exact same path and philosophy as any of the religions, but since the person has grown their spiritual ego to the extent where they believe they are their own church and god, it's all good.

Because now it's not a book or a priest that tells them what to do, it's a subtle spiritual guidance in their head (or heart). But little do they know, that in most of the cases, that inner guidance is the same fucked and corrupted voice of self-punishment and body/spirit separation that the one from religions. It's all the same. Just a bit more sophisticated and uses different a bit more confusing languages.

They are also in complete denial of what it actually means to be a human in a body having pure desires and experiencing simple pleasures of life. But they think they have transcended something, because now they can satisfy their spiritual ego only with the power of their own mind and imagination. So they think they have found the God connection in their head, and they start teaching others how to get there. Often by walking a painful path of de-identification from their actual physical form and deep authentic desires.

In the 60s in Quebec, we put the entire Catholic church on the cross because it was telling us what to do with our bodies and how to live our personal lives and dream about the future. And now, 60 something years later, we use spirituality, veganism, tantra gurus, sustainability, sexual diversity, consciousness, drugs, and many other things as ways for us to tell us what to do with our lives. What to believe. What to dream and what to love.

Isn't this hilarious?

''But 'woke' people make sovereign choices in collaboration with their inner guidance and in alignment with their spirit, it's not the same. It's more conscious and less corrupted than religious people.''

Sorry, but no. It's not.

The fact that you have completely internalized the religion program, but now you call it your own spirituality and use different terms to talk about it, does not actually make you more conscious.

It makes you more confused and confusing. And somehow you end up suffering the same way too.

...

Consciousness actually lives in the physical body. She has desires and she wants pleasure in the body and with the body.

The further you go out of your body with your awareness or your 'spirit', the more you are flying away in the delusion of your own mind and self-created spirituality. It has absolutely nothing to do with actual human being, humanity, Earth, Nature, or even the consciousness herself.

You are your body. Your body is the only real you.

The Spirit without Nature is actually just a bunch of dust. Beautiful, luminous, lovely and transcending, but still meaningless dust that just dreams to fully integrate a physical form, an ego or a body of some sort.

The only place you can actually experience your spirit fully is your matter, with help of your ego and your personal imperfect costume of your human body and its very painful, but also quite beautiful shadows of your own unprocessed past.

And also of your own dreams and of your desirable future. And the actual path of evolution with full of pleasure and joy in the simplicity of your own physical body inside your own mundane life.
