Ego, Egolessness & Spiritual Bypassing

‘You have to be a somebody before you can be nobody.’

“What I meant by this epigram was that you can’t spiritually bypass the ordinary developmental & emotional issues in your life. They’re not only there, but they have to be part of practice as well. So that everything in your life becomes practice, not the worldly stuff over here and the spiritual stuff over there. That kind of internal split usually leads to not good spiritual practice and not working through or resolving personal issues at the same time.”                     Jack Engler PhD
