  Episode 4 - Namaste the fuck away from me 15.09.2026 35min

  How often do we blame our behavior on our astrological sign, “God’s plan,” or the universe instead of taking responsibility? In this episode of Psychics Not Saints, Ainslie MacLeod and Bryan Grijalva tackle spiritual bypassing and the ways astrology, karma, soul contracts, and spirituality can become excuses for avoiding accountability. They share candid stories about fake gurus, performative spirituality, and the warning signs of inauthenticity, while exploring what genuine spiritual growth really looks like.Ainslie and Bryan discuss why meditation, yoga, and mindfulness are tools—not the destination—and why true spirituality comes down to how we treat others and whether our actions match our words. Plus, they introduce the hilarious new segment “Are You F***ing Kidding Me?”, featuring unforgettable stories from client sessions and one particularly memorable phone reading. The takeaway? Spirituality isn’t about looking enlightened; it’s about showing up authentically.Key TakeawaysSpiritual bypassing happens when spirituality becomes an excuse for avoiding accountability.Being spiritual does not make you exempt from being human.Authenticity matters far more than appearances.Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness are tools, not proof of spiritual growth.The biggest red flag in a teacher is when their public persona doesn't match their private behavior.Intuition often detects dishonesty before the conscious mind does.Some of the loudest spiritual voices are simply playing a role.Older souls often feel less need to prove how spiritual they are.In a world increasingly shaped by AI and curated identities, authenticity becomes more valuable than ever.The most spiritual thing you can do is be genuinely yourself.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction[01:22] What spiritual bypassing really means[03:35] Fake gurus and spiritual hypocrisy[05:11] The Balinese lesson about living in the gray[05:55] Spiritual teachers who act differently off stage[08:06] When integrity and behavior don't match[09:52] What true spirituality actually means[11:45] Bryan on authenticity, drinking, sex, and being human[12:45] Ainslie's story about a spiritually inauthentic client[15:51] How psychics sense dishonesty[17:38] Why some gurus may be younger souls than their followers[18:06] Spiritual cosplay and identity[19:09] Talking to people at eye level[19:55] Why souls come here to be human[21:32] The retreat where people were shocked the hosts drank alcohol[22:59] The sound bath that went horribly wrong[25:01] Why authenticity will matter more in the age of AI[25:59] Introducing "Are You F*ing Kidding Me?"[26:31] Bryan's celebrity look-alike client story[28:10] The dangers of losing your identity[29:34] Ainslie's unforgettable phone reading[30:22] Shaving during a psychic session[30:31] Why gifted sessions often go poorly[32:25] The problem with reluctant clients[34:49] Closing thoughts About the HostsAinslie MacLeod is a past-life psychic with over 27 years of professional experience.
