Spiritual Ego & How to Dismantle It

Let’s talk about the spiritual ego and how to dismantle it.

Rather than viewing the spiritual ego as a single kind of personality, I see it as a phenomenon that shows up as different characters, as subpersonalities, as mini-egos that hijack Truth to serve their own ends, thus distorting pure spiritual wisdom.

I’ve come across six types in my time, and here are my quirky names for them: the Theoriser, the Mean Monk, the Hippy, the Introspective, the Hermit, and the Prophet.

Disclaimer: All of my conclusions are merely works in progress. That said, I’ve been around enough to meet these various characters both in myself and in others.
