The Truth About Spiritual Bypassing: Finding Real Peace in a Divided World | Kiran Trace – Ep 116
Is spirituality just a way to escape the world’s problems — or is it the key to real peace? ????
In this week’s conversation, Kiran, Leela, and Cami explore the accusation that spirituality is a form of bypassing — ignoring global crises like war, injustice, or inequality. But what if real activism begins in silence?
Leela shares powerful reflections from her “School of Peace” weekend with participants from Gaza, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and reps from the UN — showing how peace begins within the body. Kiran challenges the misconception that spiritual practice is passive, revealing how the most awake beings throughout history — from Jesus to Gandhi — were also the greatest changemakers.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
✨ Why embodied awareness transforms activism
✨ How inner peace impacts global peace
✨ What it means to act from silence, not separation
✨ Why fighting injustice from identification keeps the world in conflict
✨ The simple 10-minute practice that can change the collective field
If you’ve ever wondered whether spirituality means “doing nothing,” this conversation will shift your understanding of what true action really is.
