Spirituality V.S. Ego lifestyle

2 posts in this topic

How is it possible for some people to live for their ego, full of mundane experiences, sex, orgies, status, appearances, and at the same time they seem so woke and living from elevated states of consciousness, enjoying absolute freedom, alignment with the universe, connection and love?

Maybe this is just appearances and I'm deluded about these people. But this theory is hard to accept.

The only answer I had is that maybe they have a great relationship with psychedelics and have amazing awakenings every time they want to.

Does someone know a person like this? Someone could explain such a thing?

What you see on the outside is not the whole picture. Usually, the truth is the exact opposite of the appearance.

If someone is showing off their happiness, what that means usually is that they're not actually happy but rather deeply unsatisfied with their lives and therefore they're seeking satisfaction through the attention and appreciation of other people. On the other hand, enlightened gurus seem boring and their lifestyle is very uncomfortable and unappealing to most people, where in fact they're the happiest people on earth.

However, bipolar is not exactly a disease. It's more a human quality. So, it's possible to be living life to the fullest, both spiritually and egotistically at the same time, but only for a brief period of time and absolutely not forever. This is a temporary state of over-clocking which then burns them out. If you see someone like that, expect to see them collapse real soon. But again, you don't know how they spend the rest of their time, so you can't be always sure.
