You being “spiritual” or doing “spiritual” things is an illusion.

There’s only spirit. You can’t do anything other than spiritual things. Going to work is spiritual. Wiping Your ass is spiritual, as is the action before the wiping.

Going to spiritual retreats and seminars is as spiritual as anything else. And although it offers the individual an excuse to feel better and “special” about themselves, there’s nothing special about it.

It’s easier to judge others and feel better about Yourself than truly looking at Yourself. And although the retreats and seminars offer an opportunity to grow, the experiences and things learned there don’t give the excuse to judge others (I know, I step into the “special” trap constantly, that’s why I’m able to write and speak about this, making this mistake myself).
