Spiritual Teachers Have This WRONG!

many spiritual teachers seem to have it wrong. The problem with spiritual growth is it can make us feel like we're doing 'being human' wrong. Sometimes I think: Stop shaming me for being human! I don't need to be enlightened, I don't need to transcend everything, I don't need to liberate my soul. I'm here FOR THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

After decades of searching and then decades of walking the spiritual path, I have long stopped waiting and looking for enlightenment. I believe that the spiritual experience is the human experience - endless suffering and with it you have to learn to love, open your heart, surrender.

[@anniepaquette]

Beautiful put. I believe it is about opening our hearts and loving through it all.💗🪷💗

Yesss! We are here for the Human Experience. Let's stop feeling inadequate when we're being human.

[@anniepaquette]

My feeling exactly.

[@ChoosingToEvolve]

I relate so much to the pressure of "getting there". Yes, imagining accepting our current limitations simply as who we are and where we are now sounds wonderful.

[@anniepaquette]

It sounds like sound advice 😊

[@quietspace5408]

I think I too am in the “past” spiritual state. After many years of absorbing the wise words of the spiritual movement, I just woke up! Lol, I was watching a video and realized what was being said actually didn’t make any sense! I believe I am a spirit in a human body , but now I am no longer interested in the constant growth. Maybe my age, but at this point the focus is just on living. I am ok with pretty much everything, that’s a good place to be. Still “stuff” to figure out, but instead of it being a mission , it’s just living life!

[@anniepaquette]

Love you point of view and attitude particularly the part "Still 'stuff' to figure out, but instead of it being a mission, it's just living life!" That IS a very good place to be. Thanks for commenting. 🤗

[@moonbeanification]

As a highly sensitive woman of a certain age .... this resonates completely. Thank you.

Exactly!

[@justagirljean1111]

Been deep in healing for 5 years. Learned a ton but it’s exhausting. Ready to back off. Been on a lifetime of the spinny ride. Ready for the carousel! I often wonder if the veil of forgetfulness works both ways. Once on the other side we must forget what the earth experience really is like to want to come back. Hmmmm. 🙏🏼 ❤️☀️

[@anniepaquette]

It IS exhausting. I think we tend to get lost (and encouraged to keep going) in the process and forget to live as who we are and not just as who we will become. I have a feeling you're right... we forget... kind of like giving birth...hmmm

[@janespencer8875]

I do agree with you. There is such a lot of good intent in the spiritual growth world but also such a lot of shaming and gaslighting. Thank you for offering this alternative viewpoint!

[@anniepaquette]

Indeed. A lot of shaming, even unconscious. It's insidious and makes us feel inept and not quit good enough. Glad you're here. 🤗 Thanks for sharing. 💗

[@claudiaschneider5744]

Dear Annie - just found your channel and love to hear you talking - but I must honestly confess - this life here - is more like living in hell - no disney world adventure at all for people like us - my severe disabled husband without being able to communicate anymore - no language, no writing - severe brain injury since about 21 years now - me being his only caregiver - married for just 2 years only - when his terrible accident happened - toxic family upbringing for both of us - so called friends are leaving - can´t stand it to see our misery and his pain at all - so here we are - just the two of us - separated from the outside world and its people - and its no fun at all. Thank you for sharing your point of view.

[@anniepaquette]

That is a hard hand to deal with. 💗💗💗 May you find small pockets of joy and tuck them away in a corner of your heart. 🤗

[@yvonnemccalla7282]

Oh my Lord! Wishing you and your husband some peace rest love healing and abundance. Hope the shift brings you both some easing of you burden. You are amazing. ❤❤❤

[@mernaloy2269]

I love this message ! I'm 64 and tired ! My life had alot of trauma. It's not easy for me, an hsp, to feel happy every day. I practice gratitude and try not to ruminate. But being made to feel like I have all this "work" to do on myself is too much. Thank you for saying it out loud ! Sometimes just having a good day is ok. Love your channel.

[@anniepaquette]

Thanks Merna. So glad you're here. We are too often make to feel like we're not where we should be. Where we are is okay, simply because it is. Sometimes, just living and being is perfect (and likely what we're here to do!)

[@candacehammond5919]

I am in my sixty ninth year. After spending hours and hours reading self help books and watching way too many personal growth videos trying to become the perfect person, it just left me feeling empty and depressed. I just want being me to be enough.

[@anniepaquette]

I understand completely. Just be you for a while. Take a break, see what happens. Sometimes I think we need to let what we've learned settle, and "live".

[@angela_christine74]

I have thought the exact same thing recently as well!! A somewhat conscious choice, (more like f it) I have actually relaxed the spiritual growth side to embrace and essentially surrender to the human experience. I started questioning why. If I come from consciousness and will return to it, why am I trying to be it while I’m here? … what is the point of being here then, why not just stay there? It is freeing when I can just be me. I’m also finding myself rebelling against societal expectations which is interesting. Maybe it’s something acquired with age. I love the DisneyWorld analogy… it makes perfect sense.

[@anniepaquette]

Hi Angela! Right? I think many of us are having this reflection. Let's put our heart and soul into being human. 🤗 Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate receiving comments and hearing what others have to say.💚

[@shawna1111]

So good! Love it. And for us not to think we need to teach others to be more spiritual, or we need to be more spiritual, just lead by example and enjoy the ride on Planet Earth. Thank you - much love. 💕🤟

@@anniepaquette lol - so true! I was just talking to my friend about reincarnation and he said, why would I want to come back here though and I told him you don't think about that though, you just think about the good times (the good rides) and say, yeah - I can do it again and handle that, that was fun - what a rush!

[@KaciCreates]

Yes! I’m at the point where I’m done with trying to improve and grow, I’m just going to be me and accept myself right where I am, as I am. All the spiritual paths have led me nowhere, so my path must be right here.

[@anniepaquette]

And the interesting thing is... being done with growth...is growth, which leads to more growth. 🤗

And I would add, the spiritual paths have not led you nowhere, they have led you here, accepting yourself as you are.🤗

[@websurfer5772]

Lately I've been thinking about how I am a human being this lifetime and I came here to live this life I'm living on planet Earth. Spirituality helps me feel more in tune with good vibes, and I find it very useful for that, but I am still here to bumble through my life while making mistakes all over the place. I'm here to learn in a multiplicity of ways and as long as I'm living this life that's my journey. I'm supposed to feel all the feelings - including the icky ones. I'm supposed to feel left out this lifetime, and I'm supposed to struggle to get through each day. I can accept that better sometimes more than others. I'm supposed to work through my anger and angst about it all. That's what I came here to do. I'm doin' it. I'm happy I found your channel. Anita Moorjani had an amazing NDE and revelations about life.

[@anniepaquette]

Love this: "still here to bumble through my life." And yes, some days we're wiser than others (!) Keep doing it! Glad you're too. 🤗

[@TalkingTruewithJulieHoyle]

An authentic spiritual teacher or guru will always tell you to honor your story, honor your humanity, and honor everyone and everything in your life. Otherwise, it is just spiritual bypassing. Although i had a radical awakening decades ago, I spent close to thirty years as a seeker. The weight of seeking became so heavy, in 2016 I dropped everything. I let all the practices go. The moment I did that, recognition of the Self/Enlightenment occurred. Your true nature is so obvious and simple it is overlooked, especially if your attention is on seeking. 🙏💜 Thank you for sharing. Much appreciated Annie.

[@anniepaquette]

Thanks 'you' for sharing that Julie. My sentiment exactly. I really believe that once we let go of seeking, we make way for our true self. Interestingly, that's the content of the short posting later today!💗

[@simbarules777]

We are in this plane of existence to experience a journey in the physical realm, just like you explained so well bringing up the example of a trip to Disney World, lol, its exactly that. To disconnect or detach from this illusion in order to get into a state of oneness, rebirth, awakening or enlightenment as some refer to it, isn’t all that simple for a various amount of reasons. It requires a lot of inner work in order to overwrite our mental programming, something that would allow us to reboot our brain so to say. This is where most people get stuck or face limitation in their personal progress along the path. To make it even more complicated humanity is plagued by mental malware programs which goals are to hijack our identities, any religion which involves submission falls under this category of malware program. Even for none believers this aspect remains a very difficult obstacle to overcome and discard from. To linger in a higher state of consciousness, to experience the jolt into Oneness, to experience your true nature is of course remarkably unique and inexplicable a thing to experience, still, most ignore the fact that they will also feel what it’s like to linger inside an adult kindergarten, lol, in other words, ones the bliss settles down whilst having no desire to pursue anything, one will also realize to be in a somewhat boring spot, which is fine and very much ok, still, its is boring, lol. You touched some very valid points in your video, and you are absolutely right when saying people shouldn’t get to serious about chasing enlightenment. ❤

[@anniepaquette]

I really like your idea of "mental malware programs" being out there. And it's very interesting that you bring up getting bored. I certainly am that way and sometimes feel I create a little drama because without feeling deeply, life is...boring. And, someone else asked in a comment in another video, Does anyone else feel overwhelmed AND bored? Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. 💗🤗💗

In this universe human beings and animals and zillion other living and non living things share this universe .all the others except humans live their life span experience events and die but we humans make our life experience on this universe as difficult for us as possible and have decided to live a miserable life!!!think about that!we don’t want simple and uncomplicated life so we have created our society in such a way it’s unbearable for people to navigate our individual lives and in the end we all die for sure!and death is simple you stop breathing that’s it.There is no compromise or any deal given by this universe or some higher power! So things are the way they are let’s everyone of us live our lives as it unfolds every day with peace within us which brings beauty to our lives and not take it as a competition to win .let’s stop racing. But simply LIVE without attaching magnificent meaning to life as it’s a make belief ! Life is a CONSTRUCT!

Totally agree with you. I think back to Indians or Pioneers. They were just trying to live each day. People have so much to live up to before society says they should be happy. I think that is why suicide is so high. I think each feeling is meant to be experienced.

[@larryboysen5911]

We are spirits (our true selves) who exist in a perfect world (the Spirit World, Heaven, Beula Land, Eternity, or many other names given by all the earth's religions. Our spirit always was (no beginning-always will be, eternal) We choose to take a part (incarnation) to become an actor on this imperfect stage called the physical world. We all bring with us a mission to improve this imperfection, but many forget this aspect, due to the fact our 100% spiritual intelligence is reduced to barely 3%! The spirit part of us is in a biological machine (the body) of which our spirit literally holds together...this is termed the sub-conscience, the physical (personality) the conscience, which dominates our lives. In dreams; OBEs; NDEs, when the spirit leaves the body and for a time, is our true self...sleep is the other one, sometimes called the "Little Sister of Death". Death is the separation of the physical case, returning to our true existence, our spirit self. In our earth experience, we take on an adventure of good, bad, love, hate, relationships, problems...a kaleidoscope of situations, not in the perfect spirit life. Yes, earth life is an adventure...and above all our main mission is to eventually lift the imperfect human existence to the spiritual level! We all choose this rocky adventure with that in mind...very difficult...as humans, we fall to many temptations...especially the devils of POWER & GREED! This is the HELL, not the "other side"! Over there, we will all have reparations to make, as we will choose to do so, working as sprit guides to try to impress those incarnated, as we were. We all have these spirit guides surrounding us every moment. Ever get an impression or idea with a loving thought or idea to make a difficult situation better? Thank your spirit sub-conscience, or "small inner voice"...your guides at work!!

Hello Queen. Dan is doing very well. He has had no active cancer for almost 1 1/2 years and he is enjoying his life in beautiful Colorado. We made the decision together that the time had come to go our own ways. Thanks for asking. Going through cancer really is a difficult experience. It affects all aspects of life and shows us part of ourselves we hadn't accessed yet. It can be a harsh, but very powerful, teacher. I wish you peace and continued support from your loving husband.💚
