Spiritual Narcissism & Superiority Screener (Dr. Craig Malkin & Kaufman Model)
Evaluate whether mindfulness, esoteric doctrines, or 'high vibration' lifestyles have been co-opted by the ego to achieve moral elitism and weaponized gaslighting.
Scientific Overview
Spiritual Narcissism describes the hijacking of spiritual or wellness practices by the ego to secure supreme self-importance and moral superiority. Rather than dissolving the ego in humility, spiritual narcissists use concepts like karma, vibration, and detachment to judge 'lower-frequency' peers, escape interpersonal accountability, and evade vulnerable human relationships.
