There are many traps on the spiritual route and by Dr David Joshua Stone I write here some of them. I am pretty sure we all have fallen into some of those every now and then. At least myself needed to watch the mirror.
- The power of Self. It should not be given to others, to body, to ego, to God, to ascended masters, to feelings, to gurus and teachers or to anybody. It is yours.
- Loving others but not loving self.
- Not understanding that negative ego is actually the one causing all the troubles. We are not victims.
- Concentrating on God but not giving support to the inner child
- Bad diet and lack of excercise which causes physical deceases and start to limit the life.
- To much concentration on spiritual life and not understanding that also physical plane is something we need to master.
- Materialistic desires
- Desire to control others when one is successful
- Lacking of grounding, which affects negatively the physical body
- Running away from the world instead of bring the heaven on earth
- Concentrating on outer things without seeing the inner truth and essence of things and other beings
- Trying to be God and not understanding that we already are The One
- Not understanding the fact we are the cause of our being
- Concentrating on service to others before knowing the self throughly
- Imagining that anger is ok in certain occasions. There is no accuse of anger.
- Ascetic living is not spirituality
- Too serious way of living and loosing the joy and fun
- Lack of self-disipline in spiritual practises
- stopping spiritual pracises when starting a relationship
- Putting relationship before self and God.
- Too much self-criticism
- Getting trapped to the illusion of the "glory" of spiritual skills
- Mastering own power but not surrendering to God, or surrendering to God but not mastering the own power.
- Loosing the power of self when tired
- Waiting that God or Ascended masters are going to solve the problems. They will not.
- Too much reading books instead of meditation
- Sexuality is driving force in life instead of mastering the own sexual power
- Too much relying on either emotional or mental body instead of balancing them
- Thinking that channeling to others and paranormal skills are some kind of way to measure spirituality
- Forcing Kundalini energy to arise
- Forcing chakras to open too early
- Thinking the own spiritual path is the one and only
- Telling always the own truth to others
- Measuring people by the level of spiritual initiations they have
- Boasting with "good spiritual work" instead of humbly doing it
- Thinking that negative feelings are needed for something. They are not.
- Isolating from others and thinking it is spirituality
- Thinking that world is really awful place
- To much attachment to things
- Too much concentration on self instead of serving others
- Getting stucked into numerous theories, which in fact are only giving one part of the truth
- Being mystic or occultist instead of balancing them
- Giving up when life is difficult. Never give up!
- Believing that suffering does not end.
- Too much concentration on own initiation level instead of concentration on the work with self which is needed.
- Too much concentration on spiritual skills and forgetting that LOVE is the most important
- Having negative attitude towards other religions and spiritual opinions instad of co-operating
- Getting stucked into religious dogma
