Desire And Spiritual Awakening: Navigating Sex, Love & Romance

Explore the raw truth of desire on the spiritual path. This guide dismantles spiritual bypassing to work through sex, love, and romance with fierce honesty and embodied wisdom.

The Great Lie: Spiritual Bypassing and the Denial of Desire Let’s get one thing straight. You are a creature of desire. A wild, unpredictable, and ravenous being of want.

And if you’re on a spiritual path, you’ve probably been taught to be ashamed of this fact. You’ve been told that your desires are a distraction, a lower vibration, an obstacle to enlightenment.

You’ve been encouraged to transcend them, to ignore them, to meditate them away into some blissed-out state of non-wanting. And it is all a striking and dangerous lie.

This is the great deception of modern spirituality, the pervasive sickness of spiritual bypassing. It's the act of using spiritual ideas and practices to sidestep our real, messy, human experience.
