EP10: Q&A Session | Distorted vs. True Spiritual Paths: How to Avoid Being Misled
Description
In this episode of the Greatness Glory Podcast, I continue the conversation with my friend Kevin about the difference between genuine spiritual paths and distorted ones. We explore what makes a tradition authentic, how to measure your real spiritual progress, and why many seekers end up lost in dogma, ego traps, or spiritual confusion.We talk about the essential traits of a true path — such as ego reduction, love over fear, simplicity, inner freedom, and self-inquiry — and how to protect yourself from being misled by fake gurus, shallow practices, or abusive religious structures.This episode is not about judgment — it's about clarity, discernment, and reclaiming your own spiritual journey.📘 Buy the book Art of Balance: https://amzn.to/4jAii7l🌐 Learn more / contact me: https://greatnessglory.com—Topics Covered:• What Defines a True vs. Distorted Spiritual Path• The Subtle Ways Ego Gets Fed in Modern Teachings• Why Simplicity, Silence & Self-Inquiry Are Core to Real Growth• How to Measure Spiritual Progress in Daily Life• Choosing a Path Without Mixing or Chasing Dopamine Highs• Blind Faith vs. Direct Experience: A Critical Distinction• Red Flags: Fear-Based Control, Ritual Overload, and Guru Worship• You Don’t Need a Guru — Unless Your Soul Burns for Freedom• The Dangers of Misusing Kundalini, Psychedelics, or Practices Without Guidance• Why Real Peace Is More Valuable Than Excitement or Powers#TrueSpirituality #SpiritualDiscernment #GreatnessGloryPodcast #GuruWisdom #EgoVsAwareness #SelfRealization #ConsciousLiving #ArtOfBalance #SpiritualAbuse #SimplicityIsPower #InnerFreedom
