Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. A spiritual bypass is a "tendency to use spiritual ideas and practices to sidestep or avoid facing unresolved emotional issues, psychological wounds, and unfinished developmental tasks."[1] The term was introduced by John Welwood, a Buddhist teacher and psycho-therapist.[1]

Neo-Advaita

Some neo-Advaita teachers, like Jeff Foster and Andrew Cohen, have admitted that their own insight or "awakening" did not put an end to being a human being with personal, and even egoistical, feelings, aspirations and fears.[web 1][web 2] Cohen admitted that this spiritual bypass even resulted in the mental abuse of some of his students.[web 1]
