Od wieków rozwój duchowy jest jednym z głównych tematów teologii. W tym kontekście przewodnicy duchowi pomagali ludziom dostrzegać fałszywe drogi do Boga, takie jak unikanie koniecznego oczyszczenia intencji czy konieczność zmiany nawyków. Dziś jesteśmy świadkami rosnącego zainteresowania duchowością czy też rozwijania potencjału duchowego w życiu człowieka. Coraz większa liczba osób oddająca się bardziej zaawansowanym praktykom duchowym przekłada się na rosnącą możliwość obierania duchowych dróg na skróty. Ostatnio ten temat stał się również przedmiotem zainteresowania psychologii religii i duchowości. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia główne wnioski z badań prowadzonych w zakresie tych nauk i omawia ich znaczenie dla pracy duszpasterskiej.

For centuries, spiritual growth has been one of the major topics in theology. In this context, spiritual guides have attempted to help people discern between true and false paths towards God. Today, we are again witnessing a growing interest in spirituality itself and in finding means to develop the spiritual potential in human life. Because of the increasing number of people venturing into more advanced spiritual practices, spiritual bypass is appearing more frequently. Recently, this topic has become a study subject of the psychology of spirituality and religion. This article presents major findings from this research and discusses their validity for pastoral work.
