S1 E1. 30 signs of spiritual awakening.
from Road Least Travelled - A journey of the Soul · host Zhang Su Li
Spiritual awakening can be terrifying and unsettling when we’re not aware that we’re going through one. The dark night of the soul is a definite sign that you're going through one. Here are 30 possible signs of spiritual awakening so you don’t feel totally lost and alone. I'm no expert in spirituality, not a psychologist, therapist or a guru. I’m just a regular person wanting to share with you what I’ve learnt, and some simple and practical tips to help you in your journey. A day at a time, a step at a time. Spirituality doesn't have to be as daunting and high brow as it's been made up to be. It can be a lot simpler and far less serious than you think. Signs of spiritual awakening: 1. Your life comes crashing down. 2. Your friends start vanishing for no apparent reason. 3. You begin to see that those friendships were based on your old life that operated through unhealed wounds, drama, and the ego. 4. You feel very alone because nobody seems to truly understand what you’re going through. 5. A lot of what you used to do in the past now feels like there’s just no point. 6. You’d still rather be alone than to meet up with friends you used to have a lot on common with. 7. You see a lot of synchronicities, recurring numbers and number patterns. These are meaningful coincidences that are only meaningful to you. 8. All of a sudden these messages stop. You think you imagined all of it. Or you feel that the angels have abandoned you. Don’t worry, the initial flurry of divine messages was to hit you hard. To get you to wake up. And when it stops, it means you’re ready for the next stage. 9. You’re totally honest with yourself. No matter how uncomfortable it feels. 10. Everything that was meaningful to you no longer is. 11. If you had a strong sense of who you were, you now have no idea. 12. You have a lot more sense of perspective than you did before. You understand everyone’s point of view. You may not agree, but you understand. 13. You see through people’s facades, their insecurities, fears and motivations much clearer than before. You see beneath the surface. 14. You have an indescribable bond with nature. You’re in awe of its beauty. You appreciate not only its beauty but also its harshness and all the scary parts that come with it. 15. You know the difference between intuition and ego-based thoughts. 16. You start making decisions based on something other than fear. 17. You see that everyone is just playing a role. They’re just different skins in this thing we call life. 18. You see the bigger picture and you don’t take things personally. 19. Your understanding of time changes. It's no longer linear. 20. You’re a lot calmer. You see that inaction is more effective than action when it comes to dealing with difficult, or unawakened people. 21. You take better care of yourself physically, mentally and spiritually in equal measures. 22. You stop being judgmental and become more discerning. 23. You see beauty more profoundly. It affects you on a deeper level. 24. You no longer compare yourself to those that are more successful than you, or less fortunate than you. 25. You’re happy in your own company, and even the possibility of not seeing another human being ever again doesn’t freak you out. 26. You see your past traumas and the harm people have done to you as blessings. Because the harm they did was what brought about your awakening. 27. You find that without even realising it on a conscious level, you’ve forgiven them and you bear no resentment. 28. You understand the difference between faith and fatalism. 29. You understand that spiritual growth is not everyone’s purpose in this life. 30. You know that the most powerful way to make the world a better place, is to work on your own spiritual growth.
