Spiritual Awakening
This article accompanies two videos addressing the growing phenomenon of spiritual awakening which hundreds of thousands of people are now experiencing. Click to watch 10 Signs of Spiritual Awakening (6 mins) and Awakening (10 mins).
People contributing to the Awakening video speak of fleeting experiences of being free of the ego mind and experiencing a transcendent peace and love, an intense present moment awareness, and a complete absence of fear, pain and confusion.
They also speak of an awareness of the fact that most of their pain is caused by recalling painful memories or dwelling upon anxieties about the future - and thus simply not showing up for the present moment. Most of all, they describe the absolute knowing that you are more than your body and that there is no separation between you and everything else.
The fact is that we are not physical beings with a spirit - we are spiritual beings with a body. And although Albert Einstein published his breakthrough findings about the direct relationship between energy and matter 106 years ago, it seems that (apart from the advent of the field of quantum physics) most of the rest of the scientific world has carried on with business as usual.
Signs of spiritual awakening
The signs of spiritual awakening as described in these videos include:
-
Life as you have known it ends and you may lose friendships, your former employment, be forced to move, etc.
-
Your sleep patterns change and you feel restless - but energised.
-
You may shiver, feel crawling sensations, a tingling of your scalp or pressure on the crown of the head.
-
You may receive flashes of insight or inspiration.
-
You may feel vibrations around your head and ears.
-
You may experience sudden waves of unexplained emotions as previously blocked emotions are released.
-
Old issues that you thought you had dealt with keep coming back and you feel lost. This is part of the cleansing process.
-
Your physical body starts to 'wake up' and feel more alive and you may feel motivated to eat more healthily and take more exercise.
-
Your senses become heightened and you become more aware of subtle energies. You may see things out of the corner of your eye, hear a humming, whining or music, catch unexplained smells or sense a presence.
-
You see the world with new eyes and become more compassionate and loving towards everyone and everything.
-
You want to break free of confining habits and restrictive patterns.
-
You notice signs that speak to you on a profound and personal level.
-
You have vivid and meaningful dreams that may communicate information about the future.
-
Synchronicity flows faster and you may have a series of meaningful coincidences or meetings.
-
There may emerge an inner knowing about the purpose of your life.
-
You may start to realise the tremendous potential you possess and this is often accompanied by an enhanced ability to absorb, understand and retain new information.
-
You may feel lonely because no one in your circle may understand what is happening to you.
The vast majority of people to whom this is happening, have no idea what is going on and may fear that they are losing their minds. Others around them, who have not yet experienced an awakening may also suspect that the person affected is unstable or actually physically or mentally ill.
Many, if not most, of these people may turn to allopathic medicine looking for answers. Typically no physical cause will be found and all test results will come back as being 'normal'. Other articles on this site address the problem of 'hidden' toxins and in particular toxic metals which may cause a host of mental, emotional and physical symptoms. However, if you are experiencing some or all of the signs listed above, consider that you may be undergoing a spiritual awakening.
It seems that the average duration of an awakening is no less than 7 years and may typically take a decade or more. During this time you may 'purge' old unresolved emotions and release the associated toxins from storage throughout the body and find that both your body and mind become clearer.
The Mayan Calendar
According the Mayan calendar expert, Carl Calleman, the end date for the Mayan Calendar is not 21 December 2012 as is widely believed, but is the 28th October 2011. The Mayan Calendar is a calendar which does not reference physical planetary phenomena like the Gregorian calendar, but instead relates to the evolution of consciousness.
According to the Mayan calendar we have just completed a 16.4 billion year evolutionary cycle of consciousness and we are now entering a new world of previously uncharted territory. Some feel that this may be the end of duality and the emergence of unity consciousness, which appears to be the unifying feature of these awakening experiences.
