What were you doing before all this?

Hello there!
I’m just curious about a few things regarding what you guys were all doing before you went through your sc catalyzed awakenings and have a few questions for you

1. What were you doing pre awakening? What was your outlook on life? Were you on your ‘path’ or would you say that you were a bit lost?

2. How old were you when you met your sc? How old were you when you had your awakening?

3. What are you doing now? What path are you on? Did you change careers/religions/lifestyle ect?

The reason I am asking all these busy body questions hehe is that I am now 100% certain that (from my own personal experience)- that the sole purpose of the majority of these events is to get us onto the right path (whatever that is for us as individuals). I know that now days an increasing amount of my energy is going into perusing my path- and I have less and less concern for all the other things – you know all those egoish distractions and all those time consuming issues. . .
So in saying all that here are my answers:

1. What were you doing pre awakening? What was your view on life? Were you on your ‘path’ or would you say that you were a bit lost?

I was a hopeless wanderer in No Man's Land lol- Stuck in a graveyard of hopelessness- not to be dramatic but I was completely stuck up poo creek- I'd been chronically depressed for the majority of my young adult life (15-25) and had pretty much become paralyzed with anxiety- which dictated ALL of my life decisions. As most young adults- I was trying to process the backlog of inner kiddy issues I'd accumulated. Dealing with one depressed and emotionally absent mother and an anxious, god fearing, agoraphobic father and of course (just for added theatrics) growing up in an archaic and psychologically damaging church. Sooo I had a nice little foundation of fear and hopelessness to build my life on- I was completely at a loss of how I could break out of these entrenched patterns (not through lack of trying) so was desperately trying to exit the endless fairy dance of insanity lol. (That's how I just pictured karma in my mind ha ha).
A nice little phrase comes to mind "This poo has got to go"

2. How old were you when you met your sc? How old were you when you had your awakening?
I was probably about 14, a kind of very innocent, weird, passionate, asexual- free spirited 14 year old - some people may have uttered "ADHD" back then haha. Sc was not on my radar much at that time- I just saw another free spirit and subconsciously thought it would a shame for someone to disturb his bubble of bliss lol. I was about 17ish when we hung out- just before I was about to enter a long term on again off again relationship with a friend I'd known for a few years (I'll call him- Mr. Mister). I turned 25 the last day of my 3 month awakening on a full moon lol (random moon phase fact).
3. What are you doing now? What path are you on? Did you change careers/religions/lifestyle ect?
I have spent the last few years healing/ releasing and rebuilding my foundations- I am now in the building process 90% of my energy is now focused on my path and my concerns for egoish type distractions are diminishing. I'm just starting out on the path I always felt I should be on since I was a kid- but I have dropped the expectations of how it should look- feel ect. Some of the things I used to want to do professionally- (I gave up on them a long time ago) I am now making the effort to do them in whatever capacity I can.
I have been an atheist for 10 years and still sort of am but now I am taking a more broadened/ em-compassing view- getting back to the truth of the christian religion I grew up in (the universal love bit lol).
Since awakening my chronic depression has never returned and anxiety does not control me anymore- I had previously isolated myself and became almost a complete hermit - now I am starting to re-enter the big brave world after a long absence and I'm being aligned with people who truly 'see' me.


In this current moment I can say with complete honesty that it feels great to get back to being that weird kid in my own little bubble of bliss- and I hope I can maintain that way of being. . . at least 98.98% of the time

I hope I managed to make a really boring post as interesting as possible-
I'm really interested to read all your answers!

I was happily minding my own business but I was on a path of self improvement. I have had a suspicion that something was going on 'behind my back' for most of my life; more along the lines of everything happens for a reason.

My TF has had an impact on my life and dealings with it, so if nothing else I've at least learned something from the experience.

Tall order there. I was aware, I just wasn't aware of him. I had already had significant soul encounters and had visions of past lives. I know who I am. Remembering him though was a revelation in itself--because I actually remembered that I, he, we vowed I would remember (even pinpointed to length of time--decades), so it made me question the significance of the connection and where does it go from here. Is it supposed to go somewhere from here or is remembering the point? I think I know that there is more to that promise, but it hasn't manifested yet...though I admit to blocking it myself.
Regardless what others say about karma, I had a responsibility--or I made it my responsibility (rather than go with him because he pushed so hard and I was afraid and didn't feel ready), I took it on, to care for someone who needed to be grounded on the earth plane. That is done.
I have had visions/memories of first seeing him in the ocean when I was a child and over the course of my lifetime there have been brief but significant encounters.
I carry him with me while I continue to pursue creative endeavors. I am not ambitious for fame or fortune. I am interested in sharing and supporting others. Having enough is enough for me.
That is it in a nutshell. Always helps to come here and write these things down, doesn't it? Sort of acts as a catalyst to awareness.

Many years ago I was living in my families home country. I was on a spiritual path already as I mainly moved there to " find myself" and was blessed in meeting a spiritual guide and teacher who had changed my life and my consciousness. I socialised with many people who also were part of his students and I was also welcomed in his family as one of his own children.
I was single for a very long time and I had told my spiritual guide I felt like I had someone who was for me, I ached for him and I was confident that when I would meet him. I would just know.
He knew how much pain I felt and I didn't date as I felt I'd be wasting my time when I knew that there would be the one for me.

My sc was part of that family. I met him at social gatherings and I was 25 - 26 then he was three years younger.
We did not speak to each other as I was not close to his friends. But I remember that when he would show up at gatherings I felt like I knew him and what he was about.

I knew his girlfriend at the time and she was horrible. She was sleeping around behind his back as one of my friends knew his best friend would like to gossip and tell me what was going on. I would be fuming as I felt he was a diamond soul as I call it and remember telling her" if I had him I would treat him like a King"

Fast forward few years , I'm 32 and as luck would have it he needs my help in the work that I did.
And he came to my home and then I felt the rush of energy all through me. My soul screamed this is it.

Now we both have had the same spiritual path so we were not so much in need for an awakening. But we both were at certain personal emotional crossroads.
From that first meeting we just clicked and started talking about almost everything ( we were supposed to be doing work ) and he was in a dilemma as he was in a long term relationship but expressed his deep doubts about her. He felt that she wasn't the one, he believed that there should be a deeper connection ( just like I believed) that he wanted to feel like he clicked on a deeper level with someone and she was not it.

As time progressed we worked together and this would go on for a few months and we formed a deep friendship. We had a high level of respect for each other and the work finished but we didn't.
I don't know why I felt like my soul say whatever happens do not let him go.

Normally if it was any other guy that I had such deep desire or feelings as a woman and it was not mutual I wouldn't have bothered to keep contact.

I don't run after guys it's just how I've always been.
But I don't know why with him it was like ,stay , no matter how he sees me or how painful it was for me deep down.

On the surface I was what he wanted me to be, what he needed me to be . His dear friend. But there was an undercurrent of pain I was experiencing silently which no one knew.

I reacted badly to his desire of me being out in a friendzone , I woke up all my insecurities as a woman and dated someone else , partly to release the pressure I was feeling as a woman and I think on a deeper level wanted to provoke him just to see if maybe he'd notice me, maybe I'd hit a jealous nerve to desperately see a sign that he did feel the same.

He was going through his own issues as I see it now , It wasn't about not wanting me personally, he was trying to clear himself from his past relationship but I was interpreting that as rejection. When I look at it now I do remember him discreetly trying to approach me, but he did it so lightly I was too blind in my belief he had rejected me I did not believe it then.
Also I was too afraid that if I did show him I'd ruin the friendship we had and I think he was afraid as well.

I got pregnant with my boyfriend so that was the end of it.

I never got over it. It is something you can't " get over" he become a part of my being , like he lives inside me. No matter how far I moved away, no matter how deep I tried to bury myself in a marriage and child and totally create a new life somewhere else I could not erase him from my soul.

9 years later and I still feel the same as I did the first day he walked into my home, he walked into my souls home.

He is now with someone else and will marry so he is gone basically.
We have tried to reconnect but it has been hard so I have stopped trying.

I just have come to the point of acceptance that he is gone for good.

Only in my prayers and in spirit do I still send him my love instead of thinking about him everyday with sorrow and regret .

If I can't love him with my body , I can still love him with my soul.

I don't know what the future holds but I have taken any expectation in regards to him out of my hopes.

I leave it all to the divine and just live my life now.

This whole experience did dig out some dirty worms , I realised I did not address before him, and it changed me as a woman and helped me come to terms with some deep rooted insecurities and issues.
And most important of all to finally seek myself, truly seek myself cause this all was a very lonely painful process which no one knew or knows about but me.

It taught me to stop lamenting the past, stop worrying and fearing the future and to really live the present and be grateful.


I would say to anyone, this is no ordinary love, and for all those who know this know how life changing it all is.

I love your outlook on life Colorful Chameleon and your username! It reminds me of my TF. Your positivity is radiant and it is so grand to hear that you beat depression. To answer you questions in brief:

Pre-awakening I was living a very comfortable and probably envied lifestyle. Money was no object. I travelled the world first class, owned ridiculously expensive sports cars, clothes, handbags and shoes. Lived in one of those f-off mansions. Had another beachfront home. It was rather dream-like looking back. I was well taken care of.. but I knew something was missing. I subsequently began my own spiritual journey and this is when 'friends' began dropping off, like many of you discuss on SF. I actually helped many of them exit my life and pushing them out the front door when their superficiality or lack of substance became bothersome to my quest of relinquishing my ego-driven lifestyle.

I was obviously preparing myself subconsciously as when the global recession began to hit in 2008, I lost not only the friends but the lifestyle as well. Hahaha. To save some of my assets I moved back to my TFs home country where I had lived earlier in my life. I was then pushed further into myself and became even keener to pursue spirituality. Some ego dissolving 1-0-1 took place. Then I met my TF. I was 29 and he was 23. If the recession had not taken place and the markets had not crashed, we probably would not have met. I am not sure if this is a silver lining, but the force of it all happening meant is was going to happen regardless of what I thought I knew I wanted.

In all honestly I am still recovering from that turbulent time in my life over the past five or so years (there is a lot more to the story than I can share right now, legally or otherwise) but I am prepared to take on the next stage of my life with the confidence that comes with someone who's had their life put through the wringers a few times and still come out with a smile.

For me now it is about living from the Soul/Spirit/Heart/Higher-self/God. I know that when these issues arise in my life I am to look at them and heal them with the passion I would if I was healing my TF. We are spiritually close to equal, we both teach each and help each other see life and spirituality from different perspectives. We both tease each other who is more 'advanced' and we also have non-believers interested in our spiritual ramblings together.

I have put my life in the hands of God and must trust that we are here together for the purpose of good and not evil. Sometimes it all feels like a nightmare but I choose to remain in the light once morning hits. No one has it easier than others here, everyone's life story is filled with heartache and trauma. Finding the light that keeps you going is where we find salvation. For many of us it comes directly from our TF's and figuring out a way to use that light together is why I hope my ego does not ruin the chances of us making this happen. I am grateful for the many small and large lessons that have been presented over my lifetime for this purpose.

1. When i had my aha moment of the nature of our connection, when my tf journey started, I was pretty much on my 'path' already. I knew what I wanted from my life.

2. When I first time heard my twins voice, I was very young,11. From that moment on he has been in my life. But the aha moment of hey this soul is your twin, happened when I was 22.

My awakening is a continual process. I have always been spiritual and as long as I can remember I have had this inner knowing of many of the things I have now been reading about after my tf journey started. My tf pretty much just escalated my awakening process but I was on my way already.

3. I'm on the same path I have always been. The only thing that has changed, is the amount of help I get from above.
