How Can I Adjust After Being Shook By Deep Spiritual Experiences?
This post contains a link to my book. There are many causes that can create the situation you find yourself in, at this moment. No matter their differences however, “being abruptly shook,” as you word it, into some “really heavy/deep realizations,” can feel like standing on shifting sands.
Should The Mind Be Pushed Aside in Favor of Present Experience? Is the Mind the Enemy?
Contrary to popular belief, the mind is not the enemy. When you say “pushing” your mind aside during spiritual work, it’s like saying pushing your body aside during spiritual work. How can you do that?
Can Spiritually Awakened People Still Experience Negative Emotions?
Contrary to what most people think, a spiritual awakening isn’t the be-all end-all of the spiritual path; it’s actually the start. It’s true that a spiritual awakening is a fantastic event in one’s life with many promises of growth, expansion, and comprehension.
Can We Awaken Spiritually Even Without Spiritual Abilities?
The one who chases two rabbits catches neither. What exactly do you mean by spiritual abilities? Predicting the future? Having visions? Remote viewing? Levitation? Telekinesis? Knowing things out of nowhere? Sensing and working with energy?
What is the Best Way to Realize the Illusory Nature of this World?
Is there any way to become free from it or escape from it?. Inhow the question has been articulated, the intention is obvious. You seek an escape. You have probably sought this escape in other ways until eventually, you came across a spiritual teaching that told you this world is illusory.
How can I be okay when people hurt me?
You can’t. And you shouldn’t. There is no point in being okay when people hurt you. It means you have poor boundaries, and others take advantage of that. Some of us are sweeter than others; it’s just the way we are. We come to Earth kind, gentle, sometimes shy.
Do People Reinforce Self-Limiting Beliefs? How Can You Set Boundaries with Them?
It starts at home. You came into your family, and went through your life the way you did for a reason. Those are the lessons you are here to learn about. Usually, we naturally behave like our parents and strongest influences. You can notice it in the ways you speak as an example; you probably pronounce certain words like your parents. You probably have similar reactions and expressions with your colleagues, or whoever you spend the most time with. Etc.
When You Become Spiritually Awake, Why Are You Secluded and Alone?
Being human means needing food, shelter, connections. It means going through ups and downs. It means being happy at times, miserable at others. It means needing to socialize but also needing to recharge in solitude.
How Do You See That Duality Doesn't Exist?
We are not separated. We're all one. When I lived in a developing country, every day, on my way to work, I'd see many people living in difficult conditions like close to the streets as an example; and most of those streets had become narrowed due to the fact that more and more people occupy them as “homes.”
How Do You Release Very Deep Emotional Pain?
This may not be very obvious at first but most people have very deep emotional pain. It’s part of the “game.”. The main reason most people aren’t aware of this emotional pain is because of the fact that we’re not taught how to deal with intense emotions and negative thoughts, so what do we do about them?
Is Feeling Pain a Good or a Bad Thing?
Like happiness, pain is a temporary experience. What turns pain into suffering is the story we keep repeating to ourselves because we want to believe in it. There are many beautiful people in the world, in fact, regardless of our preferences, people are beautiful.
How Does Experiencing Pain Help Us Empathize With Others?
Most people naturally avoid pain. From a physical point of view, it’s obvious — avoiding pain promotes our health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, always avoiding pain gives birth to the fear of experiencing painful situations, but also the compulsion to chase pleasures.
Do You Need to Believe in a Higher Power to Be Considered Spiritual?
If I told you to believe in a higher power, how would it change your life?. For a few days, you may feel good about it, but soon enough, your enthusiasm would wear out and get replaced by your conditioning — back to “good ol’ me.”
Honestly Expressing Your Emotions May Impact Your Relationship With Others
It’s important to be aware that as a society, we generally condemn emotions. And there are many reasons for this. Some of it is common sense; as an example, you don’t want to make a scene everywhere you go otherwise you risk embarrassing yourself, and that would mean others will not like you, and if others don’t like you, you’ll be alone and being alone threatens your survival.
Can You Meditate on Anything or Just Spiritual Entities?
When I first heard about meditation a few years ago, I was very perplexed. Why? Because, intuitively, it felt natural. A part of me knew or sensed what it was. But regardless of how hard I tried understanding it from a logical perspective; not much happened until eventually, I gave up battling with my thoughts for the few minutes I tried, which felt like an eternity.
