Going through a 2nd (and much better) awakening

[shivatar]

It's been a brutal 2-3 last years and I have been going through some kind of severe dark night of the soul. However I can feel that I am out on the other side of the storm and feel phenomenally evolved and matured because of the struggle.

I feel like I've finally come to understand what it means to live consciously. To take responsibility for my life, and to create the future that I want (create the now that I want).



And I guess I just wanted to say that eventually all the little caterpillars turn into butterflies, even though it may feel like you are stuck in a cocoon for years when you want to get out you will wake up.

Good job, keep going.

It's quit interesting how many of us who go through a spiritual awakening are faced with trials and suffering, to the point of feeling as if we are not "evolving" but going backwards, "devolving". Those who make it, those who still pursue the awakening, later on find out that they have reached an oasis of peace, the light at the end of the tunnel. Many just give up, many commit suicide and just a few are still standing, just like Christ said, narrow is the path that leads to life.

I am not talking here but some negative things that happen in one's life, I am talking about things that have a life time impact. Getting very ill, losing someone you love, losing your friends, your career, your whole "life" in society, the list goes on. It's brutal, very brutal.

From my experience, every new degree of awakening is more profound than what you have already experienced.

I am really happy for you, you see, this is why there are just a few real masters, not many can undergone such a process.
