Coffee with the Universe with Lore Goldstein: Be Calm, Collected, and Confident Every Day: When “Spirituality” Becomes A Self-Sabotaging Ego Trip. (You might not be as spiritual as you think you are!)

As I become more self aware and recognize the games that my ego plays, I catch myself in moments where I am actually hiding under the illusion of spirituality. For example, judging others (with irritation) who proclaim to be “spiritual” but instead are what I call “fake spiritual.” (Um, hello, judging someone else isn't all that “spiritual” either.) Or rushing through the motions of my morning yoga and meditation routine at the onset of a busy day, and then reassuring myself that I successfully got in my “spiritual practice” for that day. In this episode of Coffee with the Universe, I look at various definitions of spirituality, and share my observations and experiences where I noticed that proclaimed acts of spirituality were really just a giant ego trip.
