Maya's Tentacles

The Eternal Illusion

Spirituality and self-development;

Where else could Maya have such an impactful influence?

Can you imagine Jesus walking the earth today? or the Buddha sitting under the Bodhi tree?

They’d have a tidal wave of ‘guru’s’ and ‘how to’ guides telling them what they need to do differently to attain their ‘perfect self’, ‘maximise their potential’ or reach ‘eternal bliss’.

‘7 steps to rising from the dead - a Twitter thread.’

Meditate daily. Breathwork. Veganism. Journalling. Chanting. Astrology. Psychedelics…..

Like a spinning dog chasing its tail. There is a reason the list is endless. There is a reason the prescriptions continue without success.

Let’s look at reality.

Why doesn’t Buddhism create Buddhas? Why doesn’t Christianity create ‘Christlike’ beings? And on and on.
