Taste of Spiritual Awakening.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Hi Deepak, I had a spiritual experience around a year and a half ago, which I've since only been able to identify as what they call a spiritual awakening. It was amazing and my life changed drastically for about a week. I had a higher perspective, reconnected with my body and could see and feel the beauty all around me. After a week I was plunged back into my old way of being. I just can't seem to operate anymore and I've never felt so disorientated and confused in my whole life. I'm not sure if I'm going mad or what's happening to me. I'm really desperate for some help and advice, I don't know how long I can carry on like this. Please Deepak if you could give me some advice and guidance.
Thank You.
Response:
That sounds like a good experience. Don’t feel bad that it didn’t become permanent yet. You got a clear glimpse of what your real self is like, so now you have something solid to build upon. That is something to be grateful for. Don’t worry about trying to sustain the experience, it will come when you have integrated what you have tasted from it and are ready for the next opening of awareness. To prepare yourself, reengage with your old life, and do what is there for you to do from the level of awareness that you have. That will strengthen and solidify that spiritual experience into a permanent and functional aspect of your life. You don’t need to adopt a spiritual mood, attitude or point of view beyond what is naturally there. It’s okay if the shift in your identity is a little disorienting for a while. Just focus on the tasks in front of you, and the shift from ego self to real self will gradually make the transition.
Love,
Deepak
I too had that experience. It hit me like a ton of bricks! Originally, it emerged from panic. But the panic began to give way to a sense of indescribable spiritual connection. I felt a powerful resurgence of truths that seemed so obvious about my true nature, the nature of time, and the nature of existence. It began about 5 months ago. Since then, I feel like I tore up the map. I have no idea what to do. Sometimes, I wonder if I`m going crazy, but in the midst of all of that peace and clarity, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that a "chemical imbalance" could not come close to explaining it. There is something greater going on. PLEASE write to me if you`d like to talk about this! taylor.lee.werner@gmail.com. I want to build a community around what I`ve been experiencing. Thank You!
Wow Vickie this is exactly how i feel! Its frustrating cause u would really like to just share this and open up someones eyes like ur own have been. But They simply cant comprehend because they are still blinded by the norms of society. All we can really do is better ourselves and give love. The energy doesn`t really have to be shared through speech but by actions. Our actions have the power to show us that love is the only thing that matters.
I too had a spiritual awakening after listening to your meditation tapes~~and you are so correct Deepak. I too was trying to rush my experience and find meaning, but as you say, it is a gradual transition to a new awareness in time. Life is beautiful and it is a blessing that I was able to experience this. Namaste, jennifer
