It has been awhile, where do I start? I am experiencing a spiritual awakening, and it has been a long time coming. Ego resistance, ego dissolution, loss of familiarity, ego death, confronting the shadow and dark night of the soul. Isolation, loneliness, and mental heightened states of anxiety and depression as I watch the old die out. Part of me wishes I stayed naive, unhealed and in the dark. There was a sense of comfort there, a false sense but I was naive and did not know that. Once you start to awaken spiritually, everything changes. Death of the ego is not for the weak. I think I started this spiritual awakening back in 2018, but it really went full speed since my parents died in 2023. 2023 may have been my dark night of the soul era. My questions to anyone who has been or is going through a S.A. What happens now? Am I being elevated for a specific reason? To have your eyes, not just physical open and experience the slow death of your ego, where does this journey take us? Or is that the whole point, the journey itself?
