What Spiritual Teaching Can’t Do

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/25

There is a fundamental limit to spiritual teaching: it cannot give you recognition of your true nature, and your true nature cannot be conceptualised. This goes to the heart of spirituality.Furthermore, to teach, the teacher must defile their own true nature.Related episodes: all March episodes!Newsletter & books: https://deep-psychology.com/my-links

The Spiritual Search Ends Where You Already Are

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/24

The true meditative path is one that is grounded right here, right now.To continue on the path is to be fully here in all situations, and to never turn away from This.The extent to which you do that is the extent to which you are truly walking the path home.This episode is a snippet from my Wednesday 18/3 episode, Why Meditators Stall on the Path.My newsletter & books: https://deep-psychology.com/my-links

Newbie Meditators Have Unrealistic Expectations

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/19

Meditators often have wildly unrealistic expectations regarding what meditation is, what its effects are, and where it eventually leads us. This is especially prevalent among newcomers, who have often been marketed on the idea that a little meditation will immediately render you calm, peaceful and wise.This is a snippet from my Wednesday 18/3 episode, Why Meditators Stall On The Path.Books & fortnightly newsletter: https://deep-psychology.com

The Word "Enlightenment" Creates False Expectations

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/15

Enlightenment is our default word for spiritual awakening or deep spiritual insight. While it may serve and inspire certain students to engage in spiritual work, I also believe it is problematic and that better options exist.This is a short snippet from my episode on 11th March, Is Enlightenment the Right Word?

Is Enlightenment The Right Word?

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/11

We use the word enlightenment all the time in spirituality.But it might actually be one of the most misleading words in the entire field.It suggests a climactic transformation, a final state, something rare and special.Yet the lived experience of awakening is usually quieter, slower, and far more ordinary.

The Late Stage of Meditation

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/10

Perhaps 1% or fewer practitioners reach late-stage meditation, where awakening has permanently altered one’s perception.Late stage says: “There is no centre for awakening to happen to.”This is a snippet from my episode from Wednesday 11/3, The Three Stages of Meditation.

The Three Stages of Meditation & Spiritual Insight

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/04

We tend to see meditation as a single spiritual practice experienced equally by all. It seems meditators sit, practice their technique, attend retreats and accumulate hours.What’s missing is the developmental dimension of meditation. This practice unfolds in recognisable developmental stages.These are not rigid categories, but shifts in identity, perception and relationship to experience. What changes is not just depth of calm — it is the structure of self.My newsletter for fortnightly updates:

Meaningful, Meaningless & Ameaningful

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/03

Meaning, meaningnless and ameaningful are three different words. Meaning and meaninglessness imply one another.Questioning the meaning of life is not a symptom of meaninglessness. We are obsessed with meaning, and yet life could be ameaningful.

The Necessity of Self-Other Consciousness

Deep Psychology ·

2026/02/24

When we deconstruct paradigms like self and other, it's tempting to dismiss it outright. But self-other consciousness serves a clear function, and without it you would be lost. We want not to lose it, but to see through it.This is a snippet from last Wednesday's episode on Do Other People Exist?

Self & Other As A Developmental Achievement

Deep Psychology ·

2026/02/22

You have not always had a sense of self and other: you had to develop it during childhood. It is not a given, but a construct.This also means you can see beyond it and realise it is not the whole story.This is an extract from my episode on Wednesday 18th, "Do Other People Exist?"

The Standard Paradigm Regarding Other People

Deep Psychology ·

2026/02/19

We tend to assume that other people are separate from us and have their own, independent experiences.Except these are highly questionable assumptions that we will begin to see through in this snippet from my last full episode "Do Other People Exist?

Does The External World Exist?

Deep Psychology ·

2026/02/04

This month we get very existential and I start with a big question: does the external world exist? That is, is there a physical, permanent, 3D world beyond your current experience?"You do not know the external world because there is no external world" - me!

Deep Psychology ·

2025/12/03

In December, we are looking at Christmas from the point of view of spiritual truth, revealing the ultimate purpose behind this century-old, widely misunderstood tradition.Though for most people it is simply an opportunity for a day of hedonism or the ultimate celebration of the Christian faith. But once we step beyond shallow expressions and cultural traditions, it's really quite simple.What is Christmas? Christmas means "Christ's mass" or the "mass of Christ".
