Psycho-spiritual distortion
Light again, and the one who brings light!
Change the way you live!
— Rumi, Essential Rumi, tr. Coleman Barks p. 38
psycho-spiritual distortion
spiritual distortion >>> psychological distortion >>> physical distortion
example:
spiritual distortion: I’m in charge of everything
leads to
psychological distortion: therefore I have to take care of and control everything
leads to
physical distortion: sloped, tight shoulders “weight of the world on my shoulders”, possibly leading to digestive problems (lower ribs continually leaning into upper digestive tract)
OR
spiritual distortion: I’m in charge of everything
leads to
psychological distortion: therefore I have to take care of and control everything
leads to
physical distortion: chest out, fists tight, low-back problems
We all suffer from some form of psycho-spiritual distortion; how does the internet feed this, capitalize on this?
