I think the biggest scam in modern spirituality is this idea that you're supposed to get past your body. like i understand where the idea comes from, every tradition has some version of it, but the way people actually live it out is they just start treating their body like its dirty. and they do these unsustainable things like fasting for days or doing breathwork until they see flashes and call that awakening. its the exact same mindset as someone who thinks not eating a pizza makes them a moral person. you're just putting guilt on your body and dressing it up in spiritual vocabulary. the few people i actually respect spiritually were all pretty normal about their bodies. none of them did anything interesting, they ate the right amount, slept properly, went outside regularly
