The Stages of Awakening — Life of an Empath

Are you awake?

I believe that is a question we should all answer from time to time as we begin to seek more spiritually. We talk about the spiritual journey in very abstract ways. And also resistance to spirituality in many ways that aren’t always super clear. In terms of our emotional aspect, we have to understand that whatever we spend our emotions on daily multiplies.

So, how do you answer? Are you awake?

I channeled this message about the stages of awakening from my guides:

“Awakening is a magnificent delight. To become to understand that you are more than you think you are and that the universe and environment are comprised of infinite connection and abundance -it’s quite magical.

The awakening is always available to you, but your earthly circumstances determine when you accept. The ego blocks expansiveness in mind and the soul, and it prevents the soul’s urge to grow and seek meaning beyond what it can see.” But, humans do not always conceptualize this with such wonder and enjoyment. Many people struggle tremendously when they answer the call later in life.

The first stages of awakening represent a state of emptiness or unhappiness and then subtle shifts in perception before the soul begins to seek answers and deeper meaning. However, many souls get stuck, unable to move forward without the ability to trust or to stay in balance.

The imbalance is representative of the emotional state of the being. Emotions can vary in the stages of awakening. Honestly, the feelings of unhappiness or emptiness occur just before you start to wake up spiritually. This undesirable emotional state usually creates some dissonance between your daily life and the urge to be more, realize more, and create more.

But, about that time, you meet a messenger or a guide of some sort. You may even seek out guidance. In exchange, your spiritual guide will offer a grounding of sorts to what can become your new reality, but only with trust and acceptance. In accepting a truth, you come to more profound truths. On this pathway of awakening, there is neutrality, and the ego lies dormant to the soul’s urge. The soul naturally progresses and with relative speed. Everything will come into balance according the shift in perception — the acceptance.

Be mindful that the awakening stages can become imbalanced when there is no trust within the soul when their is no tangible spiritual anchoring like when faith is absent.

Faith is very limited in the age that we currently live. Our belief is very selective. This is why so many people struggle with spirituality. Where there is a belief here, there is no belief there. Or belief in oneself, but no belief in the universe, God, prophets, organized religion, or supreme deities of all kinds.

Faith is not just about the good, but belief because of the awareness of the dark. When faith is absent negative emotions arise anger, distrust, judgment, and negotiating, all in the name of ego.

I ask again, are you awake?

Most aren’t, not entirely.

Awareness requires presence in every hour without distraction or resistance to All That Is.
