In this recording, Christopher Murphy addresses the common tendency to use spirituality as a means to dissociate from painful emotions and difficult life experiences—a process often termed spiritual bypassing. He contrasts this with a genuine approach to spirituality, which involves associating with and fully processing all aspects of life to achieve inner well-being, eudaimonia, and sophrosyne. Christopher emphasizes that true spiritual maturity comes from engaging with, rather than avoiding, the full spectrum of emotional experiences. (Part of a Q&A session given on January 12, 2025)

Disassociating or Associating with Life Experiences

Philosophy is the pathless path; our inborn search for Truth. It is the hope of Christopher Murphy that through his teaching endeavors he can remind others of this innate search for Truth and empower them to see the Eternal with their own eyes.
