Spirituality is cool, it's great.. ..but a lot of people practicing it are really kind of mean at the core still. You start to look at the picture a little longer and you see another case of misguidance through deception. You take a spiritual philosophy with all kinds of crazy cool knowledge. Then, you bait people in with the good stuff, then you mold them to your will. I've noticed a lot of arrogance and belittlement with some of those "enlightened," and wondered if it were just.. performative? ..or is there something to this? Did someone come in and corrupt it like everything else? It's happened before and they say history has it's patterns.
Here's a couple articles I found while wondering all this.
