In this episode, we’re continuing our deep dive into the religious spirit. If you haven’t yet listened to the previous two episodes on Mormonism - those episodes lay the groundwork for understanding how the religious spirit operates within institutions. Today, we’re zooming in: what exactly is the religious spirit, how does it show up in our lives, and, most importantly, how can we recognize and release it?
This is not just about religion. The religious spirit is a spiritual stronghold that can take hold in any system - whether religious, political, spiritual, or personal. It thrives where there is fear, shame, judgment, ego, and perfectionism.
We’ll explore:
How the religious spirit can attach and operates
What symptoms and patterns to look for in yourself and others
The role of shame, fear, ego, and “spiritual performance”
How ancestral contracts, rituals, and institutions feed this stronghold
Why true connection doesn’t come through doctrine or intermediaries
How to start releasing this influence and restore real spiritual freedom
Whether you come from a religious background or not, this episode will help you deepen your discernment and reconnect with the divine from a place of authenticity, humility, and love - not fear, guilt, or over-identification.
We’ll also talk about how to break spiritual contracts, and why your free will and spiritual authority matter more than anything.
