Grounded Transcendence • Holding Your Integrity (PS002)
⁘ Created: 2025-11-17 ⁘ Updated: 2025-11-27
Hey you spiritual person. You are not this body — so give me all your money. Oh okay then. That's obviously not how any of this works. But transcendental dissociation and loss of footing in this world is all too common. Double-check your roots.
Your physical being, your emotions, your reason, and your roles in life — these are vehicles for your consciousness. Guard their integrity. No reason to let them be exploited. We simply detach from our obsession, living true to our actualities.

As we reach beyond the finite self, exploring awareness broader and deeper than our day-to-day lives, how do we ensure that people and the world do not just walk all over us? It's actually quite common, this sort of dissociation that makes you vulnerable. A certain leap to a false transcendence — premature, ungrounded.
Someone comes to you — you are not this body, you are of transcendence, this world is an illusion, therefore give me all your money. Well okay then, here you go. That's obviously not the way it can function.
Let us then recognize that yes, there are planes of awareness beyond your physical identity and your presence in this world — and at the same time this world too has a certain identity, presence and reality. Each one of your planes of being, physical, emotional, intellectual and even your identity, they have a certain presence and a certain integrity that deserves to be maintained. It's simply that we are not obsessed by them anymore, mesmerized and entangled.
Instead we are operating them, we are in them. We are not them, in themselves, as our genuine permanent being. It's not that, just because I am not my vehicle, you get to scratch it at will, or hijack it and drive it against the wall. That's not the way any of this works. It's not that detachment means letting go of it to be freely scavenged and exploited by others.
Whatever the witness, the observer, the consciousness beyond may be, the fact remains — your body, your emotions, your thoughts, your roles in life, are the mediums and vehicles for its expression. Into those its attention flows and in those it operates. Then this path leads you not to a loss of integrity in your concrete life. Rather it leads to increased, enhanced integrity.
There is simply a release of obsession in using all of this to frame yourself and identity. Each of your planes operates as they must. They change as is required, adaptive, reactive, in tune with actuality — what is. Rather than your ideas of how it should be in order to make you feel better. That's the difference. So next time someone comes and wants to clean your pockets because you are such a spiritual person, keep that in mind.
