Spiritual Selfie Bullshit

You know that photo style that is 'sweeping" the world? 

That silly, false, “ Hey", “Whacky" open mouthed smile, isn't life great? shot...

The "selfie"?, Well, it is 100% bullshit. 

I was driving the other day through the city and saw a young girl in her 20's walking down the street. She had the standard brooding look of a 20 something. While waiting at a red light, I saw her stop, take out her camera phone and and take a "selfie"...

She smiled, pretended to be all happy ( in the photo that would then project a false reality when posted online to all she knew) "selfied" and then walked on, back to the same snarly, brooding face. This made me begin to to look deep at this energy that I just witnessed. 

The current reality that is projected is indeed influenced by this "falsehood". People post these photos online of a fake reality that they create and then wonder why they are really not happy in life. 

Why? 

Because  hundreds of false faced photos on instagram do not a happy life make.

Spirituality in many ways has also turned into a "selfie". People go through the motions, but truly don't commit to becoming unified with a Divine energy.  They "fake" smile spiritual practices on the outside, yet still make no effort to be a part of the real change when it is shown to them....but spirituality isn't outside, it is indeed inside.

The outward projection of "knowing" but not really knowing is the same "false" reality shown like in a “weeee! I am happy" selfie photo. Your mind is wonderful for connecting to whatever you believe in, but your actions show your commitment to creating a new reality, not a false bullshit selfie filled world.

Spiritual actions involve.... action, not a fake cheesy made up spiritual smile to the world.
