Aquarius, maybe in all your travels you have read on or encountered this, but there is a segment of the population that misapplies New Age or metaphysical thought to the point where it resembles narcissism to the ordinary person. She has made fun of this culture before but I think she has cherry picked the Teal Swan-like portions of these beliefs out anyway. I've seen people lose everything they own and their house waiting on ascension and losing every friend they have by calling them negative people and of course doing various "elixirs" because they believe they can control their own mind over matter to the point they can ingest anything they like in any quantity and it won't harm them.
Um, let's see here. Yes, I've run across this phenomenon, and yes it can result in some really crazy ideation!
I am reminded of a phrase from a couple of years back when the idea of "spiritual suicide" was going around in some circles. A psychotherapist friend of mine talked about it with me after a client of hers talked about this and she was learning about it. She said it meant that some people become so involved and invested in their own sense of "spirituality" (according to their own definition of spirituality, of course) that they became much more narcissistic and closed off from their ordinary reality and the practical needs of their daily lives and of the people around them.
These people tend to rely on manifestation and magical thinking, affirmations, potions, invocations, etc. and all kinds of "new age" and "spiritual" practices to get what they say they want in life. But they take this to such an obsessive (often arrogant) extreme that they don't pay attention to and stop taking practical action while waiting for their desired outcomes to magically manifest.
Thus HW could narcissistically be relying on her spells and curses to shape her life and aspirations, but isn't really taking the practical, nitty-gritty actions to work towards achieving her goals. She believes the rules just don't apply to her because she is "spiritual" and understands the "hidden forces" in the universe... ahem (cough, cough).
But all the intentions for manifesting in the world won't come true unless you act in accordance in the real world to work towards them.
And yes, this kind of spiritual arrogance and narcissism can make a person judgmental and condescending and mean towards other "undeserving" people, and keep the practitioner from living a productive and grounded life.
Is this the kind of thing you were asking about,
@Dyna-X? There's some not very good stuff out there on the internet iirc, but I don't remember anything at this moment that was really worth looking up.
I haven't heard this phrase in a while now, it took me a couple of minutes to dredge it up from my foggy memory banks.
