Spiritual Awakening - the Brutal Truth

Awakening is the most liberating, alienating, excruciating, empowering, lonely, confusing, freeing,
frightening, expansive journey.
If you find yourself struggling as you try to process all this insanity, you are not alone. No one talks
about the darkness that accompanies awakening, or the GRIEF. Not only grieving the life and
illusions you once had, but the realisation that almost everything you thought you once knew, is a
LIE. The beliefs you’ve held, people you once trusted, principles you were taught – all LIES.
Shattering illusions is rarely an enjoyable experience. There is a considerable amount of discomfort
that comes with growth and the grieving process doesn’t stop there.
With newfound realizations, you then find yourself grieving all over again. Grieving for our children,
knowing all too well the broken world they are inheriting. Grieving the loss of many relationships
with people who just don’t ‘get it’.
Feeling alone: being ridiculed and shamed, not only by the masses, but for many, your very own
family and friends too. Feeling like you no longer have much in common with the people you are
surrounded by. Struggling with carrying on bullshit, shallow conversations that lack substance with
those who are still fast asleep.
Even feeling disconnected from your entire support system because they can’t see what you see.
Some even grieve the loss of their ignorance because ‘ignorance is bliss’ and reality is harsh.
Awakening can be a lonely road and you will often find yourself journeying it alone. There is no way
to sugar coat it – awakening to the realities of this world is brutal. It will have you running through
the entire gamut of human emotions.
You have to master the art of diving down the darkest of rabbit holes only to come out and still function in daily life, and that’s a skill people don’t talk about. Some people struggle with feeling disconnected from family and friends, it is as though they exist in another world.
The main solace, is that you have a wider, revolutionary, wise group of seen and
unseen guidance from this dimension as well as ‘beyond the veil’.
We are never alone. Whether you ask for help from your personal guides, guardian angels, ancestors and deceased loved ones, past life teachers, ascended masters, cosmic and galactic family members/star beings of light, spirit animals/totums, plants/tree consciousness, gods and goddesses, deities/Deva and elementals as
well as Earth’s spirits/inter-dimensional beings, and of course, those that are with us on our life path
as soul family, or like minded, kind, genuine and deep individuals we now walk alongside, the help,
guidance and support in love is endless.
Spirit guides represent parts of our unconscious minds that symbolically help us find wholeness,
learn our life lessons and ultimately connect back to Source.
We are all DEEPLY connected; in purpose and in spirit.
