Mike’s Dharma Talk, 2020.08.17

This is my dharma talk from the East Bay Healing Collective on August 17, 2020, about spiritual bypassing.   How is it so human to misuse spiritual ideas & tools as ways to avoid pain and discomfort?  How does using meditation and mindfulness solely for comfort and peace of mind actually lead us away from our deeper nature?  What does spiritual bypassing have to do with White Privilege? How do we move toward a more sincere relationship with ourselves and our practice?       

This is the quote sheet for the talk.
