The need to look within

I have noticed that every person I know is going through a major shift in their lives and are forced to re-valuate all aspects of how they live their lives: home, relationships, finances, etc.

Those only focusing on their physically aspects seem to be facing large barriers which seem to be getting denser and denser, and frustrations are building because they cannot break past these barriers with the methods that have worked in the past.

Those looking to connect to the soul and searching within themselves are enjoying the experience of change and growth, and going with the flow.

There has been so much communication about these shifts taking place on the planet. It’s an amazing time we are living in.

Has anyone else noticed the extreme changes in the lives of people they know?

Interesting post Clovelly.

Is there a need to look within? It does seem plenty of people are very happy without any need to to look anywhere.

I sometimes wonder if all this soul searching just makes some people too serious and too self aware.

I do not believe that we choose to soul search to extreme Shepherd. It seems to be a natural process of our awakening consciousness. Heehee.

I've been on it for 40yrs plus. Good on anyone who has the scales of ignorance falling from their eyes. That's only the begining of it all...

Whilst that might be true for some, I am not sure it is for others.

I think I am more with your thoughts Falling Star and that’s what I’m finding interesting. Watching everyone, I have noticed that they all are being forced to look within, especially those that haven't consciously done any soul searching.

Those that have only looked at life on a physical level are now being forced to change their thinking, because the way they have built their lives seems to be falling from under their feet, so to say.

Also noticed that friends that are more into their spirituality are also changing, but not as drastically. They are having fun and enjoying the process, just taking each day as it comes.

Surely taking a deep inner look is a prudent thing to do.

I feel that we are evolving en-masse Clovelly. And that can really only be a good thing.
We are realising the illusion..........awakening!

I could agree but that maybe my spiritual conditioning talking. What does someone achieve from taking a deeper look? Is it possible that someone else may already be experiencing that which others are seeking?

Is looking within a metaphorical process which just creates more spiritual metaphors to hopefully live a different life by? Not that's wrong but if someone were say perfectly happy, should someone be preaching to them that they should look within and at what exactly?

I believe that we are all at varying levels of growth, and the inner journey to ultimate truth isn't triggered until it is supposed too. If people are happy as they are, then they won't or won't need to be affected by inner growth.

At the end of the journey is bliss and total healing.
