11 Traps that sabotage spiritual growth


 Basically the results of false spirituality from watching hours and hours of  sermons on YouTube and reading books after books. Have you met these “Pharisees” in the christian circle ? High, mighty and self righteous ? I like how the author of that article calls it : “christian conditioning”. I must say 40-50 years ago I use to belong to a church that’s has this saviour mentality and wants to revolutionalise the world and have this Martyr complex wanting to die for Jesus. 


So spiritual for any earthly good. 

Instead of teaching their followers to go inward to get answers, they perpetuate the dependence on them by publishing books and tapes etc. Furthering christian conditioning. 

Prayers. Pray for the leaders. Pray for world politics. Pray for political parties. Pray for weather conditions. Pray pray pray. The prayer the christian talks about is not prayer.

Of course, with all that pent up knowledge after countless hours of binge you tube sermons on Joseph Prince and countless others , where’s that knowledge going to go ? It can’t be kept inside. It will burst !! So pity the receipts of these unwanted preaching. 




Again ref to Trap 3. Knowledge puffs up, Paul says. And in certain cases it links to trap 7.

In a way he was living a lie, ok maybe a lie is too strong a word. He was living an illusion only to wake up and realise he isn’t meant to be there. And it takes an Afro Hollywood American Actress (basically everything he is not) who maybe also in that shoe as well to wake him up, gave him the strength to be by himself and with himself and be himself. And what she saw in his life reflects hers in a very different context but the essence is the same. Wrong time wrong place wrong person wrong family. It’s not so much she took him away but by being with her awaken a courage that’s always b

 In the spiritual realm. Jesus was operating in a high level of spiritual consciousness. He was exercising full authority in the spirit. In the spirit, he was before Abraham. Ok which point in time before Abraham then ? Right at the beginning. Right at the Origin of Things. Or even the Originator of things itself. As a Jew, as a rabbi as a citizen he has no authority but in the spirit representative  of the Divine he is who he is .
