We live in degenerate times. This means the most popular spirituality is most likely fake spirituality. There are many fake spiritual teachers out there, so be extremely cautious. Some of these fake teachers are knowingly doing this to get rich quick or get famous or sadly, for their own sexual perversions. They are straight up con artists. Some have been tricked by negative entities or spirits and others may be under the influence of what is popular and do not know any better. Some people have made a little bit of spiritual progress and their egos get puffed out of proportion and they think they are spiritual masters, when they know next to nothing. Sadly, the Dunning-Kruger effect is wide-spread during these times and many people think they are far better than they actually are.
Please, please, please be careful out there. There is so much trickery going on it is frightening. Here is a list of 8 things to beware of, so you don't get duped by a fake spiritual teacher:
They charge money for their services. The more money they charge, the less they know about spiritual matters, so stay away from them. They should not be earning their income from doing spiritual things. They should have a regular source of income and do the spiritual things for free. If the teacher does not ask for any money, BUT they have so called helpers telling you to give money and how much you have to give, that is the same thing, you are dealing with con artists. It should be up to you if you give money and how much you donate.
They ask for or demand sexual acts from you or other followers. This is an incredible violation to your well being or the well being of others. Some of them will tell you that spirit or God or whoever says you need to be intimate in order to make spiritual progress. That is a lie. They are just using you for their own sexual perversions and they are manipulating you. This is basically rape, as they get off on the power they hold over you and what they can make you do to please themselves sexually. Run away from them and report them to the authorities, to stop them from victimizing others. They are a predator and do not care about you in the slightest.
They encourage you to channel spirits. If you have no experience working with or interacting with spirits you should never attempt this as it is dangerous. It is not wise to try do this, even if you have experience working with spirits. This is not something to take lightly or jokingly. If anyone is telling you to do this, especially if they are telling you to surround yourself with white light do not listen to them. They are under the influence of negative entities or spirits. It is the demons, tricksters and other negative entities that put that idea out there. People that surround themselves with white light for protection are doing the exact opposite. They are in fact making themselves a beacon for negative beings to rush in and possess them. These people do not know what they are talking about and are being tricked by the negative spirits or they are just repeating what is popular and are just con artists.
They cut you off from anyone that is not following them. It is true that you want to remove negative people from your life as much as possible, so you do not fall into their negative ways. However, you do not need to cut everyone out of your life that may have a different spiritual belief than you. As long as those people are striving to do good in their lives, and to stop behaving negatively, they are perfectly acceptable to be around and have in your life. If your spiritual teacher is telling you that you have to follow them for salvation and that you are not allowed to associate with anyone outside of your spiritual group, they are a con artist and are trying to form a cult. Get out of there as fast as you can.
They tell you they are The Saviour. If they truly believe this, they are mentally ill and most likely suffering from one or more severe personality disorder. Get away from them. Anyone that knows anything about spirituality knows they cannot save anyone but themselves. The most anyone can do, no matter how high up they have reached on their spiritual journey, even if they have reached the ultimate place and are fully enlightened beings, is to help guide and teach others how to do this for themselves. They can only try their best to help you learn how to get yourself free. So anyone that tells you they will do it for you is a liar.
They ask you to harm others or to hate others. This is one of the worst things you could be manipulated into doing. It doesn't matter what anyone else is doing or being, you create a vast amount of harm to yourself if you hate them or harm them in any way. A true spiritual teacher will ask you to love everyone no matter what and to do your best to cause no harm to any living being. Loving someone is wishing for them to be happy. If they choose to find their happiness or their spirituality in a different way than you do, there is nothing wrong with that, as long as they are not causing anyone any harm. If they love differently than you do, there is no harm being done. It is hatred that harms. It is harming and hurting others that causes you to degenerate spiritually, so why would you do that to yourself? Why would allow anyone else to tell you to live that way when it is causing you so much pain and suffering? You cannot be at peace if you hate or harm anyone else.
They teach about manifesting, twin flames, surrounding yourself with white light or other popular trendy things that are harmful. These are things we all need to be wary of and take caution about. Manifesting is dangerous to you and will ultimately cause you harm. Twin flames is an archaic notion invented by the ancient Greeks that is causing so much suffering to people. There is no such thing as a twin flame. You are a complete person on your own, you do not need anyone else to complete you. So many people are staying in abusive, toxic relationships because they believe the abuser is their twin flame. It is very sad to witness. As I mentioned before do not surround yourself with white light. If anything is trendy and going viral and a lot of people are suddenly jumping on the bandwagon to get viral videos, stay clear of it, because it is most likely something fake.
They feed your ego or sell you lies, like how to get everything you want in life. Straight up con artists use this, so do narcissists, psychopaths and sociopaths. If they tell you that you are a special, unique person with amazing abilities, they are feeding your ego to take advantage of you. If they lie to you, that you can get everything you want in life, if you just do what they say, then they are again tricking you and conning you.
Be very wary around anyone that says these things or behaves these ways. It can take time to find a proper teacher. Just because someone has a million followers does not mean they are a true spiritual teacher. It just means there are a lot of people out there that don't know any better and will follow anyone that tells them what they want to hear. Most people don't want to be told they will have to work to make spiritual progress. They don't want to hear they will have to do it all themselves. They want to take the easy way out and will follow someone that promises to do all the work for them, when it is a complete lie. Sadly, a lot of people will pay a lot of money to have someone else do it for them or they will give away their life savings to anyone that cons them with fake spirituality.
Save yourself and look for proper spiritual teachers that truly want to benefit you and that will guide you on your path towards liberation.
