Same Turd, Different Glitter.

So I’ve noticed some really damaging ideas still running rampant in modern spirituality. This is no surprise of course, and as we all know, there are also a TON of damaging ideas floating around in old-world spirituality (religion).

These old religious ideas are what formed our current culture and societal standards, so of course, that means these ideas are EVERYWHERE we look.

But the difference is that those harmful ideas are a bit easier to spot, whereas in modern-day spirituality a lot of times they’re cloaked in a layer of glitter and rainbow sprinkles, which makes them a little harder to distinguish.

I heard it said somewhere that you can roll a turd in glitter, but it’s still a turd.

The turd I’m talking about right now is the idea I see a lot of in modern spirituality that if you’re not thin and athletic and “eating clean”, it means you’re secretly depressed, holding yourself back, unhealthy, and don’t have any real self-love.

Same turd, different glitter.

This is exactly the same message we get about our bodies from the media and from society at large. Each one has a different way of telling you you’re defective, but make no mistake they’re both telling you exactly that.
