The Dark side of Spirituality

After the Rise of spirituality has been around the 19th century. During the pandemic it did lead to more Individuals to awaken their souls in such delicate times. The Covid-19 pandemic led to a surge in interest in spirituality for various reasons. There were individuals who turned to spiritual practices for solace and coping with depression, anxiety and uncertainty. The pandemic sort of forced a shift towards online services and private workshops, as in person gatherings became difficult. Ultimately the pandemic impact on spirituality varied significantly among individuals, with some finding their comfort in traditional religious practices, others exploring alternative beliefs, and some experiencing no change at all. 

Spirituality became a great source of help to those individuals who felt lost and confused about their life during pandemic but as theirs a good side to things there is also a bad one. The dark side of spirituality is about accepting that just like there’s incredible potential in unlocking past lives, meditating on the third eye chakra and keeping a dream diary to interpret the subconscious messages, there’s also the complete opposite, disturbing side of things like sleep paralysis, night terrors and other mind-games. This problem arises when individuals start perceiving themselves as spiritually superior to others. Ironically, in their attempt to shed old identities, they end up constructing and then attaching themselves to a new one. This can lead to a paradox where the pursuit of spirituality, which is based on the principles of humility and selflessness, inadvertently strengthens the ego through a sense of spiritual achievement or distinction. 

Spiritual psychosis can significantly impact communities by causing social insolation, relationship strain, and even violence or self-harm in some cases.
