I remember going to church, and to liberation services, reading and studying the bible, praying, being as pious as I could be and practicing patience and being a godly wife..etc. All this is good and well intended and I was really being honest....but, never did I deal with my deep rooted feelings and frustrations. I was forgiving but not dealing with the feelings underneath the process. So, I felt spiritual, but I didn't feel at peace. After years of this, feelings of incompleteness guided me towards spirituality and a deeper understanding of myself. I had to go back some steps on my path to face the feelings, deal with them, face my fears, not hide them anymore. Be myself, not what I "should" be. How liberating. It does feel so much better when you express what you feel and work through it. Your post is very honest and self revealing and enlightening too. I’ve experienced spiritual bypass in the past, Maia.
