Spiritual Bypassing
Spiritual Bypassing is an act of denial of the truth in the name of higher consciousness as per the New Age belief system to refuse to help others or have compassion for those suffering, because the situation is considered negative, and the negative energy in the situation is believed to lower one's vibration.
Spiritual Bypassing is generally an Ego Defense Mechanism used by people that identify as lightworkers or on the Ascension path, but they are unwilling to see negativity or look at unpleasant truths happening around them, because they consider these unpleasant truths to be negative energy that lowers their personal vibration. Therefore they choose to ignore it, pretend it doesn't exist or label these events or classify those people that are truth seekers that share this level of information with others, as those fostering negativity and fear. As a result, they tend to be people of weakened moral character along with lower ethical standards, because their version of reality is selective or even delusional.
Spiritual Bypassing is an act of pure egoic selfishness in the guise of being an evolved higher consciousness person. The profile of this person is that they ignore or downplay certain events they consider negative, in order to protect themselves from being mentally or emotionally triggered. As a result, they deny the truth or make convenient assumptions in order to rationalize the reasons that the horrible event has happened to another group of people. Usually, the blame is placed on the victims, without any feelings of Empathy or Compassion.
As an example, it can be assumed that children being used as sex slaves or for SRA, have karmic reasons for being killed. Therefore, they don't have to do anything about it, because they need to maintain their high vibration and all is in divine order.
Denial
Putting up a thought barrier and arguing against an anxiety-provoking stimuli by stating it doesn't exist. Refusing to perceive the more unpleasant aspects of the external reality.
Splitting
Splitting is a very common Ego Defense Mechanism. It can be defined as the division or polarization of beliefs, actions, objects, or persons into good and bad by focusing selectively on their positive or negative attributes. Splitting diffuses the anxiety that arises from our inability to grasp the nuances and complexities of a given situation or state of affairs by simplifying and schematizing the situation and thereby making it easier to think about.
