How Do You Know If You're Having a Spiritual Awakening?
2/3/2014
It's been awhile since I've posted anything, but I promise to be much more consistent. I realize that there are a lot of people out there who are now going through their own Spiritual Awakening and are looking for answers to the things they are experiencing.
When I began my own Awakening, I didn't have a lot of money to pay someone else to tell me what was happening. In hindsight, that was a good thing because it encouraged me to find my own answers. That was nearly 30 years ago (wow, how time flies!). It is much easier today to hop on the internet and find your answers, so I encourage you to do just that!
Okay ... it's so easy for me to go off on tangents ... so, without further delay let's get onto the subject of this post :-)
It almost always starts out with a major upheaval in life. That doesn't necessarily have to be the case, the reason it usually starts that way is because such situations make us question life and often our own reason for being here. Those moments are meant to spur us on, to get us searching for answers to questions that most of us won't ask unless there is some kind of tragedy in our lives. However, there are a handful of people who will begin that questioning without experiencing tragedy or trauma, they are the ones that question authority, rules, regulations, and life as most people know it to be ... that doesn't mean they set out to defy authority, or break the rules, although that can happen ... some of the most recent group of such people are known as Indigos. (But that is a topic for another time. If you have questions, you can comment on this post and I will do my best to answer you quickly.)
There is usually a feeling of despair, depression, anxiety &/or emptiness ... the world can seem too big, leaving you feeling lost and alone. You may wonder why you are here, and who you are, often there is a sense of not belonging. It can become difficult to leave the comfort & safety of your home, you may feel overwhelmed by the people around you whenever you leave your house.
Feelings of losing your sanity, your grip on reality, are quite common. This is because you are beginning to see and feel things differently, and when it doesn't match up with the main stream ideas of who we are or what reality is, we begin to question OUR sanity, rather than the sanity of those around us.
You may find yourself drawn to the occult or other esoteric studies. This is because a part of you is beginning to question what reality really is, at some level you understand that there is more to life and who you are than meets the eye. Your thirst for knowledge begins to grow.
At this point, many people begin to question their religion. It's important to understand that you don't have to "throw the baby out with the bath water." All religions contain some aspect of the Truth; while you are searching for Your Truth, keep what feels right to you and add to it as you continue your Awakening.
Sleeping patterns begin to change. You may find yourself unable to sleep, or sleeping too much. You may find that its easier to accomplish things in the middle of the night when most people are asleep. Your dreams may be filled with symbols, or a sense of being in an alternate reality; or you may simply wake up feeling like you haven't slept at all.
(I want to keep this post fairly short, so as not to lose anyone ... so I am only going to touch on why our sleeping patterns are affected.)
Our reality is a shared experience in consciousness, so when most people are sleeping it's easier to see beyond the illusion of this third dimensional reality. While we are learning to see beyond the illusion, we instinctively know this and are drawn to utilize this time to further our understanding of who we are and the Truth behind the illusion. For those who are further along on their Spiritual Journey, this time is often used to help others or to create artistically because the energy isn't so overwhelming or distracting.
Our waking lives are just one reality, so when we are asleep we are open to other realities, these alternate realities are now being scientifically studied. It is no longer something talked about only in occult circles or by mystics. If you are remembering your dreams more often, if they are more vivid and real, then you are beginning to See things outside of this dimension's reality. IF you are dreaming about symbols, if you feel like you're being taught something, if you awake in the middle of the night with unusual thoughts or phrases, then you are either in The Mystery School or you are experiencing past/future life memories. It is important to realize that "time" is a construct of this third dimensional reality, dreams do not adhere to timelines.
Synchronicity becomes more apparent in your every day life. You may find that things happen more easily, there may be more "coincidences", you think of someone & they call, you find yourself being led to books or things that are "just what you needed" in that moment. You are learning to follow your own Higher Guidance system. Your psychic centers are beginning to open.
The feeling of being Called to do something more becomes stronger. This almost feels like an "itch" in an undefined place inside of yourself. Trying to scratch that itch usually leads people towards their path of service. Understanding your path of service and actually undertaking it are two completely different things, first you must understand who you are and then become comfortable in your new evolved identity.
