the problem with new age spirituality

After years of exploring new age spirituality, one thing has become clear: this space has a tendency to attract the most wounded of us, and exploit our desperation. Those of us who are desperate to heal our pain and cannot seem to find relief through traditional institutions turn to the abstract realm of new age spirituality for answers, and those of us who are in desperate need to be validated and feel superior, likely in a bid to avoid confronting our own inner wounds, will bypass our messy human feelings to convince ourselves (and others) of our spiritual superiority. Of course, I believe spiritual practice can be perfectly honest, and can have tremendous value, but not if it’s used to fuel our superiority complex, not if it encourages us to repress our “negative” emotions in order to manifest our dream lives, not if it represents spirituality as being all about crystals, tunics and oracle cards, and certainly not if it encourages us to save only ourselves, moving to Bali and promoting an impractical and un-relatable image of spirituality that only the most privileged of us can afford. Unsurprisingly, this has led us to recreate social class and hierarchy even within “spiritual” communities, and invite history to repeat itself in a brand new flavour. The state of the new age today is, to me, a testament to what happens when nuance is left out of the conversation. We all want to be better than we are, which is a very positive impulse, but we often go about bettering ourselves with rigidity, and the hope that it will bring us a reward in the form of admiration. This is where the human ego hijacks our spiritual practice. Suddenly, it becomes all about vanity and perfectionism, rather than acceptance, rejecting humanity and idealizing divinity rather than making room for both on equal footing, performing compassion rather than actually confronting our own messiness enough to become truly compassionate towards others.
