“Spirituality” is a word we hear everywhere these days. Sometimes it’s inspiring, sometimes it becomes a trend, sometimes it gets watered down. For some, it means meditation; for others, yoga; for others still, simply contact with one’s inner self. There’s nothing wrong with that—as long as spirituality stays alive, real, and rooted in daily life. The problem begins when spirituality becomes just a label—or worse, an escape from life.
Because spirituality should not be an excuse. It should not be a smoke screen behind which we hide from the world and its challenges. It should not be a path to spiritual ego, judgment of others, or a way to exploit people’s vulnerability.
If spirituality is to have any meaning, it must lead to deeper social changes. To the creation of a better world—built on awareness, responsibility, and love.
Spirituality as an Escape – the Seductive Illusion
Many people treat spirituality like a safe haven. They imagine it as living in isolation, in a forest, on a meditation cushion, far away from the noise and problems of the modern world.
Of course, all of us need moments of stillness. But if spirituality becomes only escape, it turns into the denial of itself. Because escape does not change the world. Escape keeps the status quo in place.
And the world doesn’t need only conscious observers—it needs conscious creators. If everyone turns away from real life, if everyone “flies off” into spiritual realms, who will make sure children are educated properly? Who will heal the sick? Who will defend the oppressed? Who will change the systems that exploit humans and the planet?
The world will not survive if spirituality becomes a mass disappearance from life. It will survive and be reborn only when spiritual practices become fuel for real action.
And let’s be honest—if they cut off your electricity at home because you’ve gone too deep into yourself and forgot to pay the bills, you won’t be helping anyone that way. The truth is: to make a real impact, you need to act, to develop yourself, but also to build businesses and earn money. Without resources and influence, it’s hard to change the world for the better.
Of course, everyone can contribute in their own way, and every step matters. It all begins with the individual. But let’s remember what this is all for: not to escape life, but to change it.
Prayer and Action – Two Sides of the Same Coin
This isn’t about giving up prayer or meditation. They’re important. They teach us peace, mindfulness, and connection to something greater. But if they stay only in the realm of thought, they have no real impact on reality.
Prayer without action is like a plan without execution. Like an architect who designs a magnificent building but never lifts a single brick. Like a doctor who prays for his patients but never picks up a stethoscope. Like a teacher who affirms the wisdom of her students but never asks questions or teaches them to think for themselves.
Intention is the beginning, but only action makes the difference.
False Spirituality – Escape, Denial, and Spiritual Ego
On my path, I’ve met many people who consider themselves “spiritual.” The problem is, often behind that word lies nothing more than escape—from life, from the world, and above all, from themselves.
Some hide behind a mask of false positivity. They avoid working through their wounds, repeating like a mantra: “everything is love, everything is light.” In reality, they live in denial that doesn’t heal but buries difficulties even deeper.
Others fall into the opposite extreme—spiritual grandiosity. They start seeing themselves as gods, as enlightened masters who stand above the rest. But that’s not wisdom—it’s just ego dressed up in spiritual clothing. Neither group brings anything good to humanity.
Far too many of these people parasite on others—exploiting their sensitivity and search for meaning. I’ve already written about spiritual scammers: fortune tellers who don’t guide but trap people in dependency on their predictions; untrained “therapists” who harm more than they heal; so-called “healers” who have no energy themselves but still take money from the sick and desperate.
False spirituality doesn’t support change—it blocks it. Instead of building a New Earth, it feeds on people’s hopes and fears.
There Is No Such Thing as “Spiritual Hierarchy”
Let’s remember: in true spirituality, there is no such thing as hierarchy. And yet, I keep meeting people who place themselves above others—as gurus, masters, guides who allegedly have “greater awareness,” “stronger intuition,” or “higher vibrations.”
This is the greatest illusion. Because someone truly spiritual doesn’t need to prove their uniqueness. They don’t need to compare themselves with others or put anyone beneath them.
The truth is simple: we are all one. I am loving awareness. That’s the idea guiding someone who genuinely walks the path of heart and consciousness.
When someone creates a spiritual hierarchy and says: “I’m better than you because I’ve developed my awareness more,” they’re revealing that they’re ruled by low emotions—fear, pride, and the desire to control. And that is not spirituality.
Spirituality is not about being above others—it’s about living beyond divisions. That’s the goal.
I’ve even met people who, with full seriousness, said they “have power.” XD. Hard not to laugh—because that’s an example of serious detachment from reality, the kind that deserves a psychiatric ward rather than a spiritual stage.
Let’s be clear: we give things their meaning. One person believes in magic, another doesn’t—and that’s perfectly fine. But the problem begins when we start giving power to other people, taking it away from ourselves. The same applies to pseudo-masters. You can see the illusions and masks they wear—or you can believe them and hand over your energy.
It’s worth remembering who a shaman truly was. In tradition, it wasn’t about supernatural tricks or “having power.” A shaman was above all a truth teller and truth seeker—the one who speaks truth and seeks truth. A bridge between worlds, but also a bridge between people. Someone who walked in truth not to exploit others for personal gain, but to help them. That’s the essence we should keep in mind.
Becoming a Better Human – But for the Good of All
When we talk about growth, we often focus on individual benefits: I want to be calmer, happier, more fulfilled. That’s important—but it’s not enough.
True growth means becoming a better human being for the good of all. Because every healed wound, every fear we face, every moment of empathy has a real impact on the people around us.
This is where spirituality shows itself—in daily gestures, in work, in relationships, in community. A conscious person doesn’t cut themselves off from the world—they learn to be part of it in a new way.
Education – The Foundation of Change
If we dream of a New Earth, we must begin with education. It’s in schools that the attitudes of future generations are shaped.
And yet we still see a system dominated by tests, grades, and competition. We teach children how to survive within a structure, rather than how to think, feel, and co-create.
We need education that develops not only the intellect but also the heart. That teaches empathy, cooperation, mindfulness, and critical thinking. That doesn’t trap children in rigid frames but allows them to discover their own talents and paths.
The world needs teachers who understand the psychology of the child, not just the ministry’s curriculum. It needs parents who guide by presence, not pressure. Education is where every real social change begins.
Psychology – A Bridge Between Inner and Outer Worlds
More and more often we hear that psychology and spirituality go hand in hand. And rightly so. Psychology gives us the language to understand ourselves, while spirituality gives that understanding meaning and a broader perspective.
A stable, emotionally healthy person doesn’t use spirituality as a drug. They use it as a tool that supports balance. And thanks to that balance, they create healthy relationships, families, and communities.
We can’t talk about a New Earth if we don’t work through our traumas—both personal and generational. Because unspoken pain always returns. Spirituality that ignores psychology becomes a bypass—and instead of healing, it causes more harm.
Business With Respect for People
One of the key areas where spirituality should manifest is business.
For years, the dominant logic has been profit above people, efficiency above health, fast growth above long-term harmony. But business is not just numbers—it’s people and relationships.
Spirituality in business doesn’t mean incense in the office. It means creating companies that respect employees, customers, and the planet. Companies that measure success not only in money but in the quality of life they help create.
Ethical business is the future. Proof that it’s possible to combine economic growth with respect for humanity.
Deeper Social Changes
Education, psychology, business—these are just fragments of a larger puzzle. What it’s really about is the transformation of society as a whole.
Because spirituality, if it’s real, always leads to action. To changing life structures. To building communities based on trust and cooperation, not fear and competition.
The world won’t change on its own. It will change when people change.
True Spirituality – We Are All One
True spirituality is not just about working through personal wounds. It’s about the sincere desire to create a better world.
On my path, I’ve met people who spread not love but hatred and pettiness. People who should have been examples but turned out to be warnings. Painful experiences—but they show one thing: spirituality without love and humility becomes just another mask.
We each have our own karmic lessons, our own timeline. But what connects us is this: we are all one. We are part of the same whole. Our choices and emotions shape the shared field we all live in.
It is possible to live differently. It is possible to be guided by love. But first, you have to find that love within yourself. Because someone who doesn’t love themselves cannot truly love another.
True love is unconditional. It’s not a fleeting emotion but a space where we accept ourselves and others as they are—and that’s exactly why we can create something greater. A person who finds themselves in the right environment—full of acceptance and support—can be their authentic self and truly grow. There is no stronger motivation than real love and kindness, which open the space for growth. And yet paradoxically, this—true presence, care, and support—are among the rarest values in today’s world.
It is unconditional love that fuels spirituality—not escaping from life but transforming it.
Stable People – A Free Society
Stable, healthy people are able to create a world of free people. If someone is trapped in fear, chaos, and trauma, they can’t build a stable family or community. But if they can care for themselves and their emotions, their energy radiates outward.
Freedom begins in the individual. But it doesn’t end there. It spreads into society.
Spirituality should not be a path of escape. It should be a path of return—to ourselves, to one another, to the world.
It’s not enough to pray for a better future. We must create it. With every choice, every decision, every gesture toward another human being.
The New Earth will not be born “someday.” It’s being born here and now. In our hearts, in our actions, in our communities.
Because if we truly believe that we are all one, then there is no other way but to act together.
And if we keep creating divisions among ourselves—what does that make us?
Love,
Laura
