Spirtual Ego and Narcissism

This is a conversation that a lot of spiritual people from the black Dispera need to talk about

Spiritual narcissism and elitism in the spiritual community is a real thing. A lot of people think that just because they practice a certain spiritual religion that they are more powerful than other people who practice a different fraction of ATRs. I've realized that a lot of new age practitioners are practical and don't move in the spirit. Anti intellectualism is rising without doing any historical research about the trans Atlantic slave trade . Slavery and african spiritual systems co-exist with each other.

Historal events and power

Researching slavery throughout the African Dispera is very important. The more intense the condition that black people went throught the more potent those spirits are. EX, this is my personal opinion. Hoodoo,Candomble, and Umbanda are the most powerful forms of atr because during slavery the colonizers were more ruthless, and the Africans had to create tactics to defend themselves. brazil was the last major western country to abolish slavery (1888), and it's a very huge country. That energy of colonization and systematic racisim has still left its fingerprint. When traveling to bihia Brazil and witnessing those ceremonies, the energy is so intense that people will start to get outer body experience because afro- brazilian are very connected to their nigerian roots. They haven't assimilated like other black people when it comes to celebrating their religion. When it comes to Hoodoo, chattel slavery in America was very brutal ( go to the african American museum in WASHINGTON DC) certain part of Louisiana is very haunted and black people in America still have to fight for thier rights. So much b***d has been shed on this land that peoples ancestors will work very fast(similar to Palo mayombe in terms of quickness)( A lot of AA ppl have ancestors from the Congo especially in North/south carloina and Memphis). That why when I see people be talking crazy about southern african American women ( I just shake my head especially if they from Louisiana,Memphis, Mississippi, North and South Carolina) read the history in those states , especially Mississippi and Louisiana (America is a big country). Look at those recent plantations fires .This is why ego without education is a very bad mix because a lot of people think just because their culture is more known for their work and that they have expertise in everything. People who operate like that are usually taught a universal lesson, lol. Reading is very important.

Yin and Yang

Balance and staying grounded is virtue. Life is a teacher, and you are constantly a student. The goal is not perfection. Perfection doesn't exists. .Light and darkness is both needed.People think just because you're spiritual you have to a good all the time and turn the left cheek. That is very dangerous. some times it's ok to be a fire cracker and beat up a b***h lol ( I don't promotes volience) thier are times that you have to tap into your dark nature to handle certain types of people. We live in a world full of angels and demons and you have to be smart. Balance is 🔑 .

Elitism

Nobody is better than anyone. We are all going to the grave. Titles hype and cliques mean nothing in the spiritual world.The spiritual world sees your soul and those spirits know if your intentions are good. The people who always have the most powerful energies behind them are the most humble or they understand the concept of living in the world, but don't be of it. Bible reference). The world is temporarily, and it's very transactional. Nothing is real, and everyone is wearing a mask. Don't every be sacred of anyone.

Stay Balance

... Read moreThe conversation around spiritual ego and narcissism is essential, particularly within the Black Diaspora. This article delves into how spiritual narcissism manifests in various practices, such as Hoodoo, Candomblé, and Umbanda, and the historical contexts that have shaped these belief systems. The enduring consequences of colonialism and enslavement are integral, as each form of African traditional religion embodies the struggles and resilience of its practitioners. Understanding how historical trauma influences contemporary spiritual practices can foster empathy and depth in the discourse surrounding spiritual elitism, particularly among practitioners who may feel superior due to their spiritual knowledge. As the article asserts, balance is key in addressing these dynamics. It's essential for individuals in spiritual communities to acknowledge their roots and the collective struggles faced by their ancestors. When traveling to Brazil or experiencing ceremonies deeply rooted in African traditions, practitioners may connect with energies that transcend time and place. These experiences highlight the power of community and shared history in spiritual practice, emphasizing the need for humility and respect among all spiritual seekers. Moreover, this discourse is not merely about understanding others; it’s also about recognizing one’s biases and potential narcissism within the spiritual journey. The acknowledgment of shared humanity is essential, fostering an inclusive environment where every voice is valued. Ultimately, navigating the complexities of spiritual practices calls for continual education and reflection, moving away from elitism and embracing the collective journey of growth and understanding.
