(And You May Not Even Know It).
When you wake up spiritually, you don’t know that you are waking up spiritually. You think you have eaten something bad 🙂
You feel strange. You feel different. You think something weird is happening to you, but you don’t know how to name it, and it’s scary as f*ck.
Because you think the spiritual awakening is a hoax, it is an invention of the gurus to make money selling self-help courses. And you do not want to face what is happening to you.
Because to do so would be to have to modify your belief system.
But it still happens (I tell you from experience).
And these are usually some of the most relevant signs you are going through the so-called spiritual awakening (I went through everyone).
So if you see yourself reflected in any of these points, don’t suffer; it’s not that last night’s dinner was bad for you; it’s probably that your life is about to change 🙂
Let’s start.
1. You have brand new eyes.
Books and articles that previously bored you or that you didn’t understand start to resonate with you. It’s as if an app had been installed in your brain that translates the information that used to make you yawn and now resonates with you and makes you excited to read.
2. You stop bullshitting yourself.
You stopped lying to yourself. You discover that the person you dream of becoming is far from your actual self. — Often, you feel like the opposite version of your dream 2.0 version of yourself.
3. You are noticing the real value of things.
You are discovering unsettling truths like money doesn’t always lead you to happiness, a handsome couple doesn’t lead you to love, and fancy travel life doesn’t free you because wherever you go, you are always in the same place: inside yourself.
4. You are an energy detector.
It is like you can see the aura of the people you surround with. You can feel the energy of each person in your daily life. And you can do it without having to speak with those people or exposing yourself a lot of time to their presence.
5. You are aware of your mistakes.
From some time to now, you can see your flaws and faults. You have a more plastic mindset. And you can deal with your mess because, with humility, you can iterate from point A (mistake) to point B (the good way) more often. Your ego lost its power over you, and now you can ask for forgiveness and make amends that will make you progress in all areas of your life: social, work, and spiritual.
6. Something smells rotten in Denmark
You sense that there is a trick behind the reality, that there is something else, a special energy, a kind of consciousness to which you belong and which makes you much more than your personality.
7. Cognitive dissonance
You begin to notice a cognitive dissonance between you and your usual friends. It is as if the themes, tastes, and interests that once united you are starting to separate you. You want human but substantial connections and not to pay for them with drunken nights out.
8. You have rediscovered the value of time.
You are no longer filled with “Netflix and couch” time. Now you prefer to do things you wouldn’t have thought of doing before, like going for a walk. You notice an almost existential vital urge to do new things.
9. Your body asks you to move
Your soul asks you to spend time in nature, and you have started to take care of your diet; you no longer want heavy digestion.
10. Your perception of reality changes.
You have realized that the greater your awareness, your perception of reality changes. The world had many layers; you couldn’t see it when you were more materialistic. Everyone is playing the same videogame but on a different level. Maybe you are at level 7 and your brother or sister at level 3 🙂
11. You learn what it is to sink in information.
You have discovered the subtle difference between intellectual and sentimental knowledge. The intellectual knowledge of what happens when you drink wine never gets you drunk; drinking will do. In life is the same: you realize that to know something truly, you have to experience it. Because true wisdom is not the knowledge you put in your mind is the one that comes down to your heart.
