What is a Spiritual Coach

You cannot transcend your ego until you synchronize with a higher order. This is the 'I Am' experience. At this holy moment you leave your ego behind like an old skin. However, for those who came back on earth to tell others about this experience, they had to put some personality blanket back on again.

A spiritual coach is someone who helps you merge with the Infinite, while a life coach is someone who helps you getting you what you want to get out of life. It is as simple as that. We are all different, we all have different mission statements. So please do not make the mistake that you think that only because you are going after enlightenment, that you are something better. In fact, the institution that contemplates that thought - your ego - is exactly the force that will make sure that you never get 'there'. But if for whatever reason you think or feel that getting 'there' is your mission statement, trust that a spiritual coach will be there, granting you a helping hand.

It is impossible to get 'there'. You either are 'there', or you are not. Life - the Tao - is always there to tell you how to proceed. Not how to get 'there', but how to let go of your personality blanket in order to appreciate that you are already home. We are all on a subconscious journey to return home to our Source. Everybody who strengthens the ego does so to live out a desire. Only when you live out a desire can you transcend it. The greedy businessman, the alcoholic, the depressed unemployed may all be as close to a spiritual break-through as the devoted monk. There is no telling when, why or where a spiritual calling might come.

A spiritual coach is someone who helps you removing your personality blanket. Just as they say, when the student is ready the teacher will come. A life coach can help you getting to you to your desired destination, a spiritual coach can help you understand that you are already home.
