It definitely depends on whether or not you’re aligning with that spiritual aspect because you feel it or if you fear it. Unfortunately, all religions and spiritualities have bits and pieces to them that people who were raised into them cling to solely out of fear. From my perspective, there’s brainwashing involved in a good amount of it. Because of the fear aspect and stripping people of their ability to think independently and explore ideas outside of those restraints, it can definitely lower your vibrations. It’s no different than politics in that sense. It’s fear based and fuels people with anger, confusion, and hatred towards people who don’t think just as they do.

As long as people are in it because they themselves, on their own, without considering anyone else’s thoughts on the matter want to be in it and they feel connected to it, it’s totally chill. Spiritual connections of all kinds without restraint or restrictions raises vibration to a certain degree.

When I was really little I would go to church with my Gram and I’d sit in the back with her and watch everyone get up to sing and do all the regular church rituals and what not. I would like look at people and see their faces and just be like, “they’re feeling something here, but I’m not, and that’s okay,” and that’s literally been my view on spirituality, religeon, and atheism for the last like 17 years? You either feel something or you don’t, you know? As long as you’re not aligning with something out of fear, anger, or hatred, you’re good, no matter what it is or what it is not.
