My Spiritual Priorities Have Changed

Some of the most important elements in my spiritual evolution have been letting go, staying curious, and being radically honest with myself. As I’ve lived into those qualities over the years, everything in me has slowly shifted. The way I view life. The way I approach truth. The way I relate to the divine. And especially what I prioritize.

I no longer cling to the things I used to. I no longer strive for the things that once consumed me. The more I’ve stepped away from those old paradigms and belief systems, the more space I’ve had to expand. There’s a freedom that comes with letting go. A real, grounded freedom that has nothing to do with trying to be spiritual. Just a steady, quiet liberation that grows deeper the more I release what no longer feels true.

Here are some things I used to prioritize in my spiritual life that I’ve now let go of:

1. Obsessing over what someone may have said thousands of years ago

2. Arguing about interpretations of ancient texts

3. Trying to define God within a fixed theological system, creed, or doctrine

4. Searching for some ultimate existential answer that neatly explains life

5. Identifying with and attaching myself to one specific spiritual tradition

6. Worrying about what people think about me or how they perceive my journey

7. Dismissing my truth in order to maintain relationships

8. Needing to be right and feeling the urge to prove it through debate

9. Trying to convert others to my way of seeing things

10. Viewing life as something that happens to me instead of something I am shaping

Letting go of these has made room for something far more real. Instead of clinging to old mental frameworks or trying to win at being spiritual, I’ve chosen to prioritize what actually deepens my awareness and expands my consciousness.

Here are the things I’ve come to deeply prioritize in my spiritual life:

1. Shadow work and facing the parts of me I used to avoid

2. Honest subconscious reprogramming that breaks old conditioning

3. Nature and quantum biology as doorways into divine intelligence

4. Meditation, movement, stillness, and breathwork as sacred, daily rituals

5. Living with full authenticity, even when it’s uncomfortable

6. Releasing self-hate and learning to stand in unconditional love

7. Seeing judgment and projection for what they really are

8. Letting go of the need for certainty and allowing life to be mystery

9. Cultivating a consistent, grounded sense of inner peace through present moment awareness

10. Letting life move through me and be expressed from me, rather than reacting to it

This shift didn’t happen overnight. It happened breath by breath. Question by question. Surrender by surrender. But what’s on the other side is more than worth it. Not perfection. Not answers. But a direct experience of truth that lives in the center of everything. And it’s mine. Because I stopped trying to force it and finally allowed it to reveal itself.
