Asking existential questions fuels my zest for life, can you relate?

The Cliff Notes:

• I think I’m allergic to the entire genre of surface level at this point in my life, can you relate?
• Hard Truth: Embracing your depth can feel isolating, but not if you’re in the right circles.
• We don’t need to use the same words or share the same beliefs, but sometimes being at the same spiritual and maturity level just MATTERS.

Embracing your depth may lead to more genuine and meaningful life experiences.

It’s not you, it’s me.

I’ve had a lot of life experiences that led me to believe mediumship and channeling are real and I can’t unsee it now!

Unpopular opinion: When you adopt a core belief like this about how life works, it becomes really hard to relate to other people.

What does this mean? The close connections I create require more substance than they used to.

How this plays out: I have fewer friends but more close friends.

I don’t need my friends to believe in mediumship, however.

Strange, right?

“You’re contradicting yourself, Kristen…”

I hear you AND hear me out…

When you go through life experiences that alter the way you see yourself, life, and how this all works…you may become allergic to surface.

I now gravitate to others who have grown from their life experiences.

They have this different depth that says: “I get it. I am present because I have perspective.”

With this journey comes some natural grief...

Losing touch and losing connection to folks you once spent a lot of time with is gut-wrenching at times.

I’ve intentionally moved forward from some relationships, but most faded away either organically or for reasons unbeknownst to me.

I still feel the grief creep up when I think about some friendships that faded away. But now I understand why: The depth part. The relatability part. The perspective part.

I had a teacher in college, Professor Sander (shoutout!) who taught a world religion course. He shared this concept of the religion pizza. (Yum!)

The concept goes like this: if each slice of the pizza represents a religion, the crust represents the extremists who are at the surface of the religion. They only see their own perspective and are dogmatic. When you get to the center, the folks at the tip of each slice understand the core principles of the religion, the depth. They are actually closer to one another than they are to those who are living out on the crust of their own religion “slice”.

I reference this OFTEN.

I needed to find, and continue to meet, the folks at the tip of the pizza slices.

We don’t always have the same beliefs, we may see the world differently, but we have the same depth.

And that fulfills me!

What are your thoughts on this? Can you relate?

Do you see spirituality like a pizza?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!
