To take a different travel-route in order to avoid having to bid farewell to one or more fellow humans.
In one of da "Garish Summit" episodes of da "Bob and Ray Show", da "Caldwell Merchfield" character tells da butler Wilford dat he wants to sneak out of da house at midnight to avoid having to go through "a long tearful goodbye" wif Miss Agatha or anybody else; da audience knows by this time dat this assertion is total hokum. of course --- da real reason dat Caldwell (not his real name, although we never learn what his name actually is) feels da need to perform said "byepass" is dat things are getting too hot for him in dat "stately splendor" community (a warrant has already been sworn out for his arrest due to his having embezzled huge sums from da Merchfield Lead Company to pay off mobster Harold W. Bigg for Caldwell's gambling debts), plus he does not want da authorities to find out who he really is.

The strategy of using spiritual beliefs to avoid facing one's unresolved wounds or unmet needs. A form of avoidance and resistance, the shadow side of spirituality, and the opposite of authenticity. Spiritual Bypassing teaches us to run away from our problems.
Examples:
1) Just Be Positive (renders shadow work impossible)
2) Blind Compassion (confrontation-phobic attempt at caring)
3) Pathologizing the Ego (the ego as an obstruction, something to be eliminated)
4) Non-Duality (removing everything uncomfortable to avoid in-depth psychological work)
5) Transcendence (escapism)
6) Magical Thinking (giving unwarranted weight to coincidence. Ex: "everything happens for a reason", over-reliance on "signs")
7) Blame Game (the opposite of self-empowerment)
8) You're Just Projecting (say this to avoid responsibility for your own behaviors)
9) Avoidance of Anger (a tendency to shun or repress the healthy expression of anger in the guise of spiritual correctness)
10) Wishful Thinking (the persistent avoidance of professional clinical attention in favor of spiritual solutions that do little to address core wounding)
11) Karmic Contract Bypass (a tendency to attribute every single event on the planet to universal or soulular intentionality)
12) Short-Cutting (disguised as permanent solutions to circumvent necessary arduous and time-consuming inner-work)
13) All is One (remaining perpetually focused on unity in an effort to avoid one's particular issues and challenges.

Jill: "Sarah is going to another Love and Light workshop next week."
Beth: "Again? Isn't that the tenth time this year?"
Jill: "Yeah, she said it makes her feel good."
Beth: "If it's so good, then why does she need to keep going back?"
Jill: "It's spiritual bypassing. She's not ready to do the deep inner work yet, so she avoids it by doing all those Love and Light trainings all over the world."
