You’re right that many people use spirituality and the tools that come with it as a way to escape life. It’s too easy to confuse the tool with the intention behind the tool, kind of like saying a car is bad because it can be used to kill people.

Life is not something to be escaped from, but many people wish it was and attempt to use spirituality as a vehicle to do so, to ascend to higher dimensions, to escape their karma, and so on. That’s not the point.

Tools like EFT and the Sedona Method offer you the opportunity to let go of attachments and thus play with life more fully, without the unnecessary struggle. Think of it as a way to allow you to play in life more freely. This is how I use the tools.

From the place of freedom and clarity, it’s much easier to learn the lessons in the first place because the mental fog of confusion and struggle has been lifted. It doesn’t automatically teach you everything you need to know, though it often does take care of many problems, including problems which you realize were never actually problems at all.

Nevertheless, in order to use the tools, you often have to go in and look at your fears and your blocks and notice whether or not they have any substance. They invite you to look at your life closely and be very honest with yourself, not hide from it and escape from it.

In what way would you learn lessons better without using these tools? Wouldn’t the lessons basically teach you that your fears are illusions and there are other ways of being in this world that are more harmonious and easy?

If you don’t want to use the tools though, that’s totally cool. No worries. We all learn things in different ways.

The emotions and states that we’re expiriencing are for something, i couldnt be using sedona method to rid myself from fear, i must expirience fear and push through it to lear what i need to lear from the fear.

Releasing past pain or whatever, with sedona method and eft -nope, doesnt work for me. Releasing pain being absolutely honest about the situation and doing compassion on it, learing the lessons.

I see sedona method and eft as a shortcut, that tricks you to belief that the issues are gone, but the lessons are still there to learn. I guess people use these techniques to escape life, because they cant face their issues, its like the number one sin of the spiritualist junkie

cheers man, nice website you have here
