Does the universe really have a force on our lives?

Awakening spiritually has been a part of my spiritual Journey for as long as i can remember Not that i would Call my self an enlighten being or awaken one. But the idea of awakening to the truth of Our existance and what it actually mean that is something that i been pondering about many times. So far i would say, i do not have the full answer to even my own awakening, but i have an idea what is needed to actually achieve it. But as soon as the thought has arising in the mind, Enlightenment fall apart It is not what i been thinking it is. What is Your experience about the topic of awakening or enlightenment? Is it a part of Your spiritual Journey?

Hello! I saw the angel number 444 so I knew I had to reply when I saw this topic. First I want to say that it takes a lot of courage to talk about mental illnesses and addiction. I have also had a long life of being told I was mentally unwell. Then after my failed marriage, I was introduced to drugs at 28 years old. So I completely understand. I loved that you said our illnesses give us super powers! I used to believe that. Lol now I can see that we all have gifts and powers BUT it's a matter of choosing to see and wanting then, learning and practicing, and then using them to help others. It sounds like you are/have been experiencing a spiritual awakening. And/or an ego death/dark of the soul. I have been through these myself. It can be so painful but also so enlightening and liberating at the same time. My last one occurred when I had felt abandoned by literally the whole planet. Not a soul to turn to. I now know that this was all part of my soul mission. I knew I had to back myself so far into a corner that I'd have no choice but to look within and when I did, I found the universe, spirit, God. Whatever term you'd like to use. I have learned so much about myself and I now know that since I understand myself, I can better understand others, and ultimately the world. I just wanted to tell you that the super powers you have, you were born with. It just took the universe shaking your life down the foundation for you to gain a different perspective and begin to build from the ground up. The spiritual journey isn't for the weak of heart or mind. It is a true test of FAITH! Congratulations and continue keeping that positive attitude!! It will take you wherever your heart desires!

I am a caregiver and I’ve been going through a spiritual awakening. I joined this community, hoping to connect with others is going to the same thing.

I was going through the most difficult times in my life. I split with my partner of 11 years and my best friend died in a car accident around the same time. There was lots of other things that happened too but it’s too much too explain. Anyway I’ve not had an easy life and instead of healing I chose drink and drugs and toxic relationships throughout my life. I came close to suicide a lot in my life and had so many near death experiences. It got to a point where drink and drugs weren’t helping anymore and I’d lost everyone I cared about. I stopped drinking as much and sat with my feelings and thoughts and began to heal. I had a spiritual awakening for the first time ever in my life. My guardian angels and God which by the way I was never sure I truly believed in him but he spoke and said I had another chance in life to make my self better and other people. My spiritual awakening made me more caring, empathetic, loving and non judgmental. I saw through my third eye I’m a starsseed a lightworker I’m supposed to be here it’s my destiny to help others heal and set them on there own spiritual journey to find there own soul path. I’m now 11 days sober and feeling a lot more positive and calmer about life. I would love to help anyone that’s in need even just a friend or someone to vent to. Anything at all please don’t hesitate to contact me. I will never judge you or tell anyone your privacy remains with me. I’m reaching out as I know how I suffered on my own and I wished I had someone to reach out to myself at times.

Hello friends! I am new to this wonderful site and would love to connect with like-minded people. I am 2 years into a kundalini (and third eye) awakening and am eager to meet other people who are going through the same experience. I am full of light and love and want to share! :)

Just the other day while I was meditating, I started visualizing bright light going into my adult son who has schizophrenia and substance abuse issues. It was like a rope of glittering light in the sky and going into the top of his head and back, and when the light met his body it branched out kinda like lightning!! It just happened, not something I remember hearing somewhere, or anything like that. I only very recently started meditating and I have realized I am in the midst of a spiritual awakening. Ok so after that meditation session I was watching a YouTube video and it said something about light workers!! I got the chills when I heard it and actually tears welled up in my eyes! So I’m wondering if I am one and how I can use/strengthen it. SO cool. I’m wondering if anything like that will ever happen again.

Hi there, I would say you should try meditating! I recently started and I’m amazed at how great it’s been. It could definitely help you get in touch with your soul’s purpose. Also, it may sound strange but go on YouTube and watch spiritual videos. I just found Christina Lopes and she has a great series of videos about getting in touch with your higher self. I have realized I am going through a spiritual awakening and it’s so cool! Best of luck. 🙂

Hi there, Im new here and on a spiritual awakening. Been stuck in rage and anger at myself; as well as, my life circumstances. I'm where I am today due to the choices I have made. I'm not satisfied with who I have become. I been looking inward and I'm disappointed. I'm not who I thought I was or portrayed myself as. I want to be someone I can be proud of. I been stuck in this place a while. Trying to claw my way out. Searching for God to reveal himself to me like never before. I still have my faith but it has transformed drastically. I love people who are broken and will sacrifice my needs for others any day. I'm the first person to help when someone is in need. I feel a dark cloud over me and I'm ready for the sunshine!!!! Nice to meet everyone

I can help. Talk with me in message. If you are finding any ability to be awakened than it's mean minimum your environment to your body, soul are supporting. Few few people find themselves to be capable for Awakening. Some souls are gifted by God.

A welcoming and friendly hello to everyone! I am going through an awakening right now and finding out I have Abilities. I may even need some help!

Hi! I need help. Im writing in this forum because im draining in despair. I have recently, some months back, had my initiation towards my spiritual awakening. I have been working very hard to love myself because no one has done it properly in my close circle during my whole life. I have been reading a lot, working out and spending time in nature, learning how to say sorry to the ones I’ve hurt, controlling my ego instead of it controlling me, it has really helped and made me improve. The problem of this comes within my personal relationships. I started my awakening noticing things about me that where pretty toxic and I had to change, I eventually did and work with all my heart on that every day all day. However, then I started noticing how the people around me where completely toxic as well, the people within my family I mean: my sister, step-dad, mom, VERY close people to me, with the witch I have to live everyday because I’m still a minor. I eventually noticed that all these narcissistic, manipulative and negative traits are all around my environment: noticing it between my pears at school, how they are many of them obsessed with control of others and maintaining a clean image (its a super small private school with high societal position teens). I noticed that the friendship I had with my best friend was just for her a way of gaining control, power and feeling well with herself. I’m exposing all this initially because my hope in society is dispersing away, and it’s starting to scare me a bit, still being conscious that I can’t loose hope because of my environment, I know there must be somewhere people from out of it that are different, I hope and they must, I expect it. However, I’m still very confused. I don’t know what to do. I’m really working hard everyday to be a better person and to love myself for the first time, but it seems like the people around me don’t manage to understand it. It has gotten to a point where I see the intentions in everyone as soon as they walk up to me, it has given very harsh anxiety problems, and it made me isolate in the bathrooms or classes to avoid having to perceive that negativity, and seeing no one on week ends. I would usually, like everyone I guess, just put some distances and boundaries with toxic people, with the ones I could I did indeed. But, what about the people I HAVE to be with because of the laws that our society has implied towards the minor? I can’t escape my family, not until I am 18 at least. I have tried everything, I have learned how to be alone, to meet my true self and passions in life, to be able not to have dependency on my relation with others (I had huge issues with that, it really gave me a huge anxiety and panic attacks). Now I can be alone, in fact it has become a problem because I prefer that than being with people. Still sometimes, during this isolation process that I am taking, everyday almost, an injection into my hurt heart of that feeling of CRAVING human socialization comes to me; of wanting to love others and transmit all the love that my soul knows holds onto them. As Aristotle said, and with complete certainty, after all we are social animals, and I am as well. So this is my doubt as a whole? I have that feeling of craving contact in my soul, but each time I try, in this environment that I live in, they pull me and my self improvement process one step back: they make me fall back onto the hole of toxicity. And the hole that I fall back in is not the one that is transmitted onto our physical realm, but since I practice mindfulness a lot and take a lot of care with my words and actions towards others, they instead pull me into the deep hole of my own head. That constantly craves human touch, but knows that the people around me are not going to influence me in a positive way. I’m desperate and need someone to talk about this, I practice a lot the stoic tendency of not sharing my worries with others, since they already have enough with the relation they have with their selfs and their problems, and thus this has led me to literally feeling like I’m going crazy. I don’t know if maybe it’s me who is doing the things wrongly, I don’t try to change people, I just want to surround myself with people that share that same effort everyday of self improvement. However my head always tortures me onto thinking I might be loosing my papers, and treating the people that “love” me badly (I will use the braces because I haven’t felt real love in my life, again of course I’m not discarding this might because of my fault). So please, I really appreciate if someone has read this entirely, now, I really need some advice. Please if it’s me, I need to know what in me needs to change, if not, what can I do with those toxic people that I can’t set boundaries with. I don’t think I can be this isolated from society much more, I need help.

I feel like I was left out of the loop. Invisible or unworthy of being included in the Awakening that I felt was my destiny.

It was a really tough jounery I know it was not easy to do But spiritual awakening really helps you live your life.

try A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, The Art of Happiness. these are really good books

Please don't mind my quirky sense of of expression. I really mean no harm and like many others wish to make positive connections. Yesterday I read this website's article on how nostalgia can console and aging heart (my take) and noted the mention how various clinical practices are wary of said states of mind. I'm no expert on nostalgia but the essence of that article rang true enough for me. I only mention this stream of thought like so as to introduce an old poem I wrote some time ago that draws upon a time in my life where during adversity I was able to connect with a form of happiness that always been with me. I share this now: Perhaps not your average take on nostalgia but for me, many of my past recollections to do with personal associations that bring me peace are typically experienced through adversity. I only just found this poem this morning looking for through my large collection or personal photos hoping to find a positive association wishing to share another scenic image which typically yields for me a form of peace. I am hoping to get back into the practice of likewise photography in the near future but for now content to use online text. I don't like taking up space so don't suppose I will be hear for long as the inactivity is kind of making me stand out more then I like so perhaps will opt for a blog. Anyhoooows ... while I am here this for me rates as a share. You know, if I heard Eckhart Tolle correctly, I beleive it was a park bench him when he connected with that something within. I remember him distinctly talking about a similar experience that makes me think of how many times my homeless past offered me similar states of mind to much of what he went on teach. Heads Up! - I'm not saying I'm Jesus Christ. Laughs out loud because we got plenty of Messiah Complexes in this selfie age and I recoil from all of them. To be sure I struggle like every other human re my ego and I'm pretty sure it's woven into my text but I do try to be mindful of such things. I'm no guru on any of these things and in fact do not like self professed or glorified people. I don't do well with audiences because of such things and feel sad the way other people hold up popular people and then sell and profit kind of thing. Yet again I am sure we are all guilty of doing the same things on a personal level because is how we are pretty much conditioned to think and feel 24/7 But enough of that before that objective side of me if pegged as cynical. Any form of discomfort is shadow banned. How's that for perception management? Rhetorical Back to the love and light not being as it's always perceived. I finish this post with my take on nostalgia: "...on how nostalgia can console and aging heart ..." 3rd sentence in my above opening. I find as one grows older the distance between such spiritual connections (which I pretty much feel consciousness awakening/deeply felt mindful/'less' experiences are) grows more distance due to intolerance. Yet adversity seems to be ageless and the age factor in my spiel here is not quite right for me as I struggle to grasp with what I am really trying to say. Like I can see how it is that many people blinded by unconsciousness in the waking world only have their first spiritual insight only when their bodies start degrade to a point beyond their control as is inventible. Much of my quirky satire in my previous post includes this same take in the healing and well being industry. In fact much of it is based on avoiding the inevitable. But back to intolerance which and can often be expressed in terms of age but more so time under stress. The latter clinical but more often understood. The connection between time under stress and an aging heart is what I sense I am aiming for when attributing the solace that can drawn when looking back on whatever association. Despite being raised in a very religious surrounding that whilst did more damage than good for quite some time, I had this intrinsic connection with some kind invisible light despite the many who seemed unable to foster me. That said I was still prone to fall victim to another side of myself that played it's part as no more than byproduct in a very toxic system. That part of me is still very caught up in that world where it takes a lot of skill and focus NOT to identify with the many labels; we all have them and many they be. That's my morning share. Now I am off for a simply bicycle ride to catch up with a friend similar but not quite like me. Like minds do not always have to be a thing. hehe little chuckle at that one. Best to remain open no matter what and be accepting of everyone regardless of this world of boxes. Less is best in a world of excess. Quality over quantity but without the contention for that which does not fit. From this square peg ... peace out. 😉

Hi everyone, I went through an awakening earlier this year and my reality has changed very quickly. It’s mainly been extremely positive, although challenging, and the journey of awakening has been almost indescribable and has enabled me to do things I never could’ve managed before. I don’t have a spiritual background at all before the past year or so when it started entering my life, so I haven’t met another person who has had this kind of sudden awakening (that I’m aware of). It would be great to speak with others who have had a similar experience but I’m especially interested to know if anyone knows of any groups of people who meet in London who have been through this? There seems to be plenty of spiritual groups but none that I can see for people who want to share their experiences of spiritual awakening. So grateful for the internet! Nice to be here with you all, Russell

Hi Simply Tammy, I struggled for too many years stuck in the darkness, trying to blend in to this physical realm we call life. Once My twin flame awakening occurred. I learned where those negative thoughts were coming from, and they weren't coming from God. Trust me, the thoughts still come. The difference is they don't stay. On one hand, I identify when, where and why the negativity is trying to attack me. Being a believer in Jesus Christ, I command them to flee. They disappear like cowards. On the other hand, in my experience .the negative thoughts also trigger me to process , and heal from any core traumas, loss, guilt, and bad choices I've made in my life. I'll be praying for you Tammy, and remember the evil one is the liar of all liars!! God Bless♥️🙏🙏🙏😎

Hi all...I am new to everything going on in my life right now...but I am experiencing something that I believe is an awakening. I know in my heart there is purpose for my new thoughts, visions, feelings etc. But I have no idea how to go about it all. It is overwhel.ing. my husband's battling some very bad "things" and needs help, and I am now experiencing what he is, but not in the same way. I do not fear it, as much as they try...I am driven to figure out how to banish it to save my family that is falling apart. I feel that time is of the essence. Pictures turn to movies and I am drawn to certain people and places that look different to me...I feel that it is bigger than I thought and that there is an unresolved situation that I am to figure out and bring peace and justice for. Wherever I am lights shine noticeably brighter...I asked God gorguidance and I know he is here with me. Nothing is of coincidence anymore, but as things become clearer they become more complicated if that makes sense. I physically feel drained, foggy, nauseated and in immense pain, but I keep going. I have to. I need some insight and help...if anyone could take the time because I am alone during this journey and trying to make sense of this feeling that my child and husband are in danger and much more...

Love the name!!! I have just joined after researching about light workers & empaths. My mum told me years ago that I was a light worker and I just shrugged it off thinking she was being weird again 😆. I have also been called an Empath and a therapist once told me I had a lot of empathy!! Just been on an emotional rollercoaster after what we call March Madness or Mental March, as we have so many family birthdays that month but this month was particularly stressful as a couple of family members were having a hard time at high school and it triggered some past mini traumas in myself. I have been on a self improvement journey for many years now, mainly to build up my self confidence. However,I feel drawn to learning more about light workers after reading an article I could really relate too. What is a kundalini awakening (I need to research this myself) or what was your experience? This is the 3rd time I've heard these words this week, I'm now fascinated xx💓xx

I am sorry you are struggling. Going through a spiritual awakening is exciting and scary at the same time. If you want to talk to someone who has been through it, I'm here. Keep on your path it'll light your way home.

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling, it does sound like a tough situation and even more so if you feel like you're going through it alone. An awakening can be painful even when it will result in something positive, so I'm sending you all the positive vibes and strength to keep going. 🌻

I live my life as a neutral type because I feel stable and calm in every situation. Neutral life is practical but it can happen only by some awakening to spiritual journey.

There's an old saying, "Meditation does not necessary leads to awakening, but awakening definitely needs meditation". Meditation is therefore a tool. It's a tool that dissects the nature of things without the need for thinking. It's akin to a baby touching an apple and smile brightly as if he/she already knows it. Meditation is a tool based on our inherent awareness. Our awareness is always been there and never left us - meditation itself told you that didn't it? And everyone has that awareness. So what's going on? Meditation is simply the practice of wiping the dust off the clear mirror of our awareness.

Hi everyone! For the past several months I have been going through a personal life crisis, call it midlife crisis or existential crisis, either way it has triggered me to begin self healing and undergo a spiritual journey. I have done lots of reading, watching videos from known experts, meditation, research, etc. I'm still trying to learn how to communicate with my spirit guides. This spiritual journey has fallen into place in such a manner that it feels like placing the last piece of the puzzle in...all things in my life, including things that have happened for many years which are positive and negative, are all pointing to this moment in time and this specific journey. I would love to connect with anyone who is also undergoing this journey or who have experienced spiritual awakening, can communicate with their spirit guides, have mastered meditation, etc. 💗
