When people speak of spiritual awakening , they often describe it in luminous terms: a surge of clarity, an overwhelming peace, a transcendent understanding of life’s interconnectedness. And yes — these moments exist. They are real. But they are not the whole story.
The part few speak about — the part that often blindsides you — is that awakening doesn’t begin with ecstasy . It often begins with collapse .
Part that touched me the most :
" You Might Feel More Alone Than Ever
Awakening creates inner spaciousness — but that spaciousness can feel like isolation. You may begin to outgrow relationships that were built on unconscious patterns. You may find yourself unable to tolerate small talk, performance, or emotional shallowness.
You crave depth. But not everyone is willing — or able — to meet you there.
This loneliness is not a failure. It’s a recalibration. It means your frequency is shifting. And yes, you will connect again — but likely not in the same way, or with the same kinds of people."
I am lucky that some of my people managed to catch up. Some of old relationships evolved. But yeah…that feeling of being lonely at a few moments in my life… was terrifying. There were moments when I wanted to be undone and be blind again, but you can’t do it.
