Spiritual Idiots(Neo Advaita): Related to spiritual arrogance, but a special case
The Golden Prison: Getting stuck in Spiritual Experiences/Highs, so that you become a spiritual junkie instead of a meditator
Spiritual Materialism: Treating the spiritual quest like the material quest– gather more “resources” or hope enlightenment will fix all our problems
Toxic Positivity: The cult of optimism that says we have to be “happy clappy” all the time or we are not spiritual. The most dangerous and harmful myth
And a followup to the above: The Cynicism Blanket
Toxic Forgiveness: The belief that you have to “forgive” people to be spiritual, which leads you to become more vulnerable to abuse
Magical Thinking: I find belief in magical beliefs like psychics or astrology is actively harmful to your spiritual life
Spiritual Shaming – “Ooh you only meditate 15 minutes a day? No wonder you aren’t enlightened yet, poor you.”
