Bypass Emotions to Recognise True Nature

A woman questions Rupert’s earlier advice about ‘kissing the toad’ (bringing difficulties into being) and its relationship to spiritual bypassing. Rupert clarifies his previous comment was tailored for a specific person he knows well, then addresses spiritual bypassing directly. He ‘shamelessly’ admits their approach initially involves bypassing emotional content to recognise one’s true nature first – like telling King Lear to stop worrying about his daughters and kingdom to recognise his true identity. However, unlike true spiritual bypassing, this recognition then leads back to addressing life’s challenges from a transformed perspective. The initial bypassing is redeemed by returning to clean up relationships and align experience with higher understanding.
