I need help.

I've just come across this article online and wondered what you guys thought. A lot of it is ringing true for me right now, particularly the pain of the early stages.
Any help or advice appreciated. x

I came across that article ages ago. Awakening. Just go with it and you'll come out a better person at the end.

Stage 9 – Walking your purpose


That is the best bit.

Been there. I know the pain. I think the article does a good job of explaining the initial stages. Maybe I am not completely done with the process yet, but I think the bit about purpose isn't necessarily true. I don't believe we are here to help people ascend as many people say. I fell for this in the beginning of my journey. But I do think that an awakening can help you realize things and change your path or maybe not. In my case, I started reading on quantum physics a couple of years ago and the subject area isn't as shocking to my system as it would have been if I hadn't gone through an awakening. But I still have to make money so I am going to apply for work back in my original career (but now I have this new quantum physics knowledge to think about.) Also, related. your interests and hobbies are most likely going to fall away (as they did for me) but they may also return in a new way. Hope this helps and hang in there

In my view, each path is unique, depending upon what blockages (beliefs) need to be cleared and as such the shifts can occur in any manner. If we are unresistant, the inward journey is smoother.

The basic suggestions I can offer, on an overall basis are:

~ we are here, in mind-body, immersed in duality, so let’s accept and not negate this fact. on a moment to moment basis, we see that there is inner conflict and determine the cause as opposing impulses of head and heart, of body (identity) urges and soul (conscience) impulses. thus, whatever be the ‘path’, we must first come into inner alignment. this requires us to prioritise mindfulness, in thought, word and deed, in an unbroken continuum.

~ as attention softens and awareness is in more in focus without stupor, recognising that we are an ethereal being in actuality who has chosen to experience earth life contrast, we allow the universe to activate the inner polarity of five senses and mind. how do we do this? simply by abiding in thought rested stillness, as a vibrant witness, poised in the void, so to speak.

~ the pain or trauma or doubt that arises, merely signals that we are resisting in-pouring of grace. we need to get our of our own way by dropping all conditioning, all knowing, take help from friends who are along the same path.

~ whilst all changes are happening, we remain grounded. forgive others but also accept ourself as we are, good-humoredly.

~ the ultimate truths are already available in the scriptures. however, the gradual manner in which love & light is revealed depends upon how the false drops away, layer by layer, which is different in each case.

~ we will oscillate between the ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ vibrations. what is important is that we are aware of this oscillation, of the pulse of separation & union, within. all is enabled, in timeless time.

~ life will present us choices. if we use free will to resonate with love, with the truth of unity, we progress. otherwise, we revisit the challenges until there remains in us no matter, to choose the lower aspects.

Enjoy!

You've spent your whole Life up until this point investing in yourself. You've grown up, had an education and whatever else you've done to become the person you are today. Then a paradigm shift comes along, sets it all alight and dances on the ashes. Of course it's going to hurt, you're being lobotomised so that something bigger and badder can come through. Suck it down, marine.

You have two choices, you can throw a tantrum like a child that doesn't want to go, or you can grit your teeth and enjoy the ride. Just remember that in the context of Life's Purpose/Karmic Obligations you bought a ticket to ride.

TBH, when I see a website that like that, I'm like, What are they selling and how much is it? I think it is designed to manipulates people's vulnerabilities, but their multi-stage marketing strategy looks really well curated, and I have to admire that.

They have a ton of products about everything and don't really care what they do. If they did a thing, and did that thing really well, I'd be fine with it, but these guys are like chanting, inner child, mindfulness, charkra, and like, everything under the sun, and apparently they have 'coaching' which they are probably not qualified at all for. Yikes.

Yea... the more I look through the site the worse I feel about it. If it were me, I'd steer clear of this one.
