A beautiful reflection and exploration. It seems like you're seeing an emergent way in the tension between ancient structure and present moment awareness in connecting to the divine. Such a delicate and crucial balance in the modern age!

“…But, from my perspective, it has not yet provided the steady ground beneath our feet—the kind of structure that fosters resilience, stability, and the wisdom needed to be fully present in the ebbs & flows of our everyday lives.”

Yeah wow! This really beautifully reflected back to me what have been confronting recently. How I’ve been using my spiritual curiosity and practice to run in the opposite direction of the lostness, lack of confidence and struggle I feel in the “real world”, everydayness, my work life.

Spirituality isn’t meditating while your partner does the dishes. It’s not being half-hearted in your work and whole-hearted in your esoteric studies. It’s not going to yet another connection circle but not being a loving and thoughtful family member.

That’s not spirituality, that’s escapism. What the hell have I been doing??

Grateful to have your perspective while I recalibrate. 💛
