How to navigate spiritual hierarchy in consciousness-exploring groups

Our friend group started doing ayahuasca ceremonies together two years ago and now there's this weird hierarchy where some people think they're more enlightened than others. Three of us are getting really uncomfortable with how spiritual bypassing has crept into all our conversations but we don't know how to address it without splitting the group.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A shared practice intended to dissolve ego boundaries instead creates new forms of spiritual competition and exclusion.
