DEAR SPIRITUAL PEOPLE // STOP Doing Inner-Work & Do THIS Instead! - David Lion

[Victor van Rijn]

Enjoy this wise perspective on growing spiritually in more light ways:

[Nahm]

  Yep.

[Loving Radiance]

I feel that inner work is expansion.

Oh he even says this. Ok, gotta hang up the phone then.

[Bojan V]

I don't agree at all with this!

Very young infants have a unified psyche. But becose of the bad parents and other important people in child's early life the fragmentation of the psyche begins and is eventualy completed already around the age 3 or 4. The children replicate the wounds their parents didn't resolve. Ofcourse the parents were traumatized by their own parents. The repression is the basic defence mechanism with which the child's psyche avoids the traumas inflicted by their bad parents. This is happening universaly on this planet.

The solution to that is that we, as an adult people, gain knowledge about the human psyche and it's dynamics, so that we can reverse the damage by the process of reintegration of the shadow elements and become whole again. What this guy describes is the avoidance and not dealing with our issues. Inner work is a must, if we want to be completely healed. "Expansion", "higher self", "fun activities" etc. are just means to avoid the inner pain and deal with it.

When we heal one issue our mood becomes better but later other unresolved shadow issues come to the surface to be healed. That's why our mood can go up and down. But this process has an end when our psyche is healed and whole again. After that the transcendence follows... 

So much nonsense is coming up from different "coaches", especialy from the Usa, and people believe them becose they want to become happy without resolving the inner causes of the unhappiness... 

Time to grow up and clean up! At least that's what i am doing the best that i can...

In a way its almost like trying to hatch from an egg, while not wanting to break the egg shell, and on top of that wanting to carry it along with you.

I feel that expansion is more of an effect/result of inner work and not necessarily a state to be directly pursued, its something that naturally happens as you unclog yourself. 

Clogged psyche will get lost in the labyrinth of mirrors and neurotically pursue expansion. While neurotical inner work will lead to the stuff that he described.

Anyway I enjoyed the video.
Just didn't like the part where he tries to make it one-directional.
