[Olaf]

I am spiritual, money is an illusion

I am spiritual, I attract, I don't chase

I am spiritual, and will attract whatever I need

I am spiritual, I need to lent 50 euros

I am spiritual, I don't approach it is low conscious

I am spiritual, I don't go to the toilet

I am spiritual, working on your career is not necessary, be present instead

I am spiritual, sex with me will make you enlightened

I am spiritual, I am the decider of the universe

I am spiritual, you all are unconscious apes

I am spiritual, making allot of money is unconscious

I am spiritual, nothing is real, so I do whatever I want

I am spiritual, if I only change my energy all my dreams come true

I am spiritual, you peasant materialists, I am above that on a higher dimension

I am spiritual, I vibe that is what I do for a living

I am spiritual, when I am just present enough, just a little more present, my life changes completly, just a little more present

I am spiritual, money is the devil, I rather smoke incense

I am spiritual, so you can't tell me anything about this world, as I am it, I know best

I am spiritual, I am everything, if I die or live is my choice, I got all the power

I am spiritual, sex is the devil, money is evil and materialists are unconscious apes, I am much better off in my camper van singing "Om Namah Shivaya"

That one is self-deception, but I wouldn't really categorize it as spiritual bypassing.

Spiritual bypassing is a specific self-deception where you use spiritual claims to avoid truth.

@aurum I was just having fun with this one

I noticed me being happy all the time was a form of spiritual bypassing.

These examples seem to invoke several distinct concepts, not just spiritual bypassing.

Spiritual bypassing is about using spirituality to bypass legitimate problems that don't belong to the field of spirituality.

For example, money problems will not be solved by more meditation. Health problems will not be solved by deeper contemplations. Relationship problems will not be solved by longer retreats.

Now, there are rare occurrences in which the above examples are wrong, hence the spiritual bypassing fallacy is born. Because sometimes spirituality can solve the problems above. For example, meditation can bring more clarity into one's spending habits or more insight into increasing income. Sometimes working harder is less useful than working smarter, and meditation can increase intelligence in some cases.

So it is important to see this and not discard all of spiritual work just because traps exist. God has indirect ways of showing grace.

There isn't an ultimate truth or a certain way reality needs to go.....there isn't a right or wrong path.

Spiritual bypassing is simply a concept within the matrix or dream story.

One could bypass all they want because nothing ultimately matters!!!!

But you don’t live your life and behave in it as if nothing matters. Right ?

I suggest that every path that leads to health is right and every path that leads to defect is wrong.

Somebody's behavior has nothing to do with nothing ultimately mattering.

I agree. Or as Aurelius put it: the obstacle becomes the way. The spiritual bypassing done at one stage becomes the stepping stone to the next higher stage.

I get what you mean.

What's being said is, there are no real higher/lower stages or right or wrong spiritual paths.

So in that sense, the concept of spiritual bypassing is totally irrelevant.

I suggest that every spiritual path that leads to truth is right and every spiritual path that leads to delusion is wrong.

Who decides what's truth or delusion?

Health decides.

Who decides what health is? Are we talking health or spiritual bypassing? Can one be healthy without being spiritual?

I am spiritual. I don't care about dating

It has everything to do with it . What’s the value of repeating “‘ nothing ultimately matters “ all the time, when in your actual approach to life, you live as though things like survival, comfort , happiness etc matter to you ? 
it’s not what you blabber that has any relevance. It’s your actual lifestyle day to day , 

there is no value whatsoever to the statement “nothing ultimately matters” except being used as an excuse for escaping negative experiences and emotions.
