Spiritual awakening is an individual experience and everyone's path is unique. Spiritual awareness is also an individual journey that should be personally experienced. Unfortunately, not too many people understand that, and they never make the distinction between what was taught to them and them actually experiencing it for themselves. They blindly believe the stories told to them or what they read in the Bible without questioning any of it. They re-live other people's experiences, i.e., Jesus, Moses, Peter, Paul etc. instead of living their own experience.
My spiritual awakening began in 2006 when I was exposed to the book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. That little book answered so many questions I had about religion even though it was not outrightly based on religion. My subconscious being showed me things in that book and made it relative to the questions I had. Like what is faith, and how do you exercise it? Scripture says in Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." But scripture also says in James 2:14 "Faith without works is dead". And I was taught that if you try to make it happen, it's not faith. So as you can imagine I was confused. How do I exercise faith? What is the "work" needed to manifest it? How do I exercise "believing"? No one ever taught me how. That revelation started my quest to find out the truth about everything I was taught about faith and religion. The answers would eventually fuel my desire to seek the truth about EVERYTHING I was taught.
I threw everything I was taught up in the air, and the only thing that stuck was that there was a Creator. Everything else was up for scrutiny. As I did my research, I uncovered many deceptions in what was taught to me as truth. My inner being would lead me down a path to uncover the hidden truths that were mingled within the lies. One by one stuff was revealed, a lot of which came from within. The more I searched, the more I learned more truths, but the odd thing was everything kept directing me to look within myself. Everything pushed me to the desire to know who I was. That was the missing link. I had no clue who I was outside of what I was taught to believe who I was. I discovered I was not that person but someone miraculous and more exquisite than I could have ever imagined. I discovered that my false perception of myself was hindering me from seeing the truth of who I am. That I was God manifested in the flesh. That we are all the manifestation of God's spirit in the flesh and are connected in ways we could not phantom. But because we are consciously asleep, we have forgotten who we are. We assimilate and conform to the teaching of this realm though our parents, teachers, elders, society's infrastructure and our experiences. We continuously perpetuate the lie and illusion that we are mere mortals with no power and thus become just that. We become pawns in this game called Life not knowing we can become masters. We allow others who have knowledge of how to manipulate this realm to control and guide us like sheeps lead astray. What we fail to realize is that we are spiritual beings with incredible powers and that we came here for the experience of having a body and to learn life's lessons. Once you become spiritually awake you become a goat firging forward to explore your own path. You get on the path to becoming a Master of your life instead of staying a mere Pawn. Over time, you begin to get the hang of things and you become the Master of your life.
The good news is that the Creator installed a fail safe in all of us. This means that over time, as we repeat the cycle of death and rebirth, eventually we begin to remember who we are and work towards liberation from rebirth. I know I have lived many lives before. The memories are stored in my subconscious, which is revealed to me in increments as I meditate daily. There are skills I possess that I have no formal training for, but I execute flawlessly. There are things I know that were not taught to me, yet the knowledge flows freely. As I allow myself to surrender to my inner being and higher self, revelations are shown to me that I myself should never know but do. Like where to serve my ex-husband divorce papers 17 years ago. To this day he still believes I hired someone to follow him. Ehat he does not know is that my higher being showed me where he was in a vision.
Among other things, people's true nature is revealed to me. I can see through their facade and see the real them. I know when people are being genuine and when they are just pretending to like me so they can reap the benefit of my friendship. I can tell when the words they speak are from their heart or if they are just regurgitating what someone else's insecurities. I dont have to call them out on it. I can love and interact with them because i know the truth about who they are - the manifestation of God's spirit.
I'm also an empath. That means I can feel people's spirit and they feel mines. My spirit agitate some people to the point that they don't like being around me but can't really say why not. And thats okay. I no longer take these things personally or try to adjust who i am to suit their insecurities because I know the truth about who I am. To My core, I am caring and wish only the best for everyone, even the ones who don't like me. Truth is I reflect something that is missing in them and that irritates them to no end. So I no longer waste time trying to figure out how to get them to like me. That woukd mean changing who zi am to fit in and that is something I will never do ever again.
I don't pretend to be anything or anybody else - I am authentically me. I speak my truth without hesitation and I live my life like it is mines - free from the hang ups of how people perceive me and could care less of their judgement.
Over time, my circle of friends keep getting smaller and that's okay. If it gets to the point where I am the only person standing in the circle that's alright with me because in that circle I will still have everything I need to live a fullfilling life. I will have Me, Myself, and I, and that is a winning combination.
I'm just saying. #igotissues. What about you? ☺️ 🦋
