Things You Lose When You Become Spiritually Awakened

awakeningJeff Wilson – An awakened mind allows you to show admiration for those who do well and strive to follow in their footsteps. It also helps to remove any malicious or jealousy and appreciate the accomplishments of others.

As we grow, become more aware, and love, our thoughts and actions change as well. This is not only due to our goals changing but the resources we draw on become more productive. As we ‘wake’ to the world as it truly is, the truth of it all changes us from the core outward. We are till human so we still experience and project negativity, but the magnitude and length of time being negative changes.

I still get angry at some fairly dumb things, but where before I would become a ball of rage and self destruction, I accept it as it is and smile to my heart. I thank it for being able to experience an array of emotions and through that love and acceptance, my rage subsides. Through the years of experience and learning, I have come to understand the pitfalls life can trick us into stepping into. Here is a list of some of those emotions and concepts that you will naturally let go of as you reach higher levels of consciousness.

Hatred

I talked on this a little but anger and hate are sadly dominant aspects of our society. Anger is like a fire in our souls, that clouds our eyes with smoke and chokes up true expressions. The feeling from anger is nauseating and entirely destructive. After spending long enough in the presence of love, hatred makes us feel physically ill. The once perceived strength that comes from anger, is seen as one dimensional and unproductive.

Jealousy

Jealousy is a direct descendant of comparative thought. WE look at what we have and compare it to another. We then judge the two parties off superficial elements. As we grow as people and fill our lives with love and works of compassion, we stop worrying about what others have.

We acknowledge our own successes and failures as being precious and irreplaceable. This makes our mental and spiritual ‘belongings’ priceless. The joy attached to experiences and loved ones has shown us the flimsiness of the pursuit of physical objects. As we see others with a deeper understanding or a more powerfully expressed form of love, we are glad to have witnessed it. We are filled with joy at the success of others, because everyone deserves to be happy.

Fear Of Failure

For you to have built up your consciousness and prepared tools of mindfulness, you have undoubtedly stumbled more than once. But as we grow older and wiser, we fear scraped knees less and less. We know that the harm of failure only extends as far as a lesson not learned. We welcome all opportunities of growth and knowledge. Our ‘tools’ wouldn’t be nearly so sharp if we never ‘sharpened’ them on suffering.

Insecurity

This thought child of comparative thought is normally one of the first negative formations to leave us. Insecurity can not prevail where there is acceptance, love and hope for the future. We remember that we are a perfect and constantly evolving form of beauty.

Anxiety

The future and past are nothing more than mysteries and stories. We don’t allow the unknown to cause us discomfort. We have faced it down many times and survived for the better.

Revenge

If someone wrongs us, the natural urge at one point was to return the favor. As we conquer our own negative formations, we come to recognize the pain that fuels the antagonists in our life. We don’t hate them, we don’t want to inject more negativity into the world. Staying wary of potential harm, we avoid it or try to save it from the negativity of their actions.

  1. I went thru a dark night of the soul in 2011–had health issues with vertigo, Meniere’s disease, migraines. (All signs of being out of balance with your soul). Just couldn’t do my job anymore, so I quit. I laid on the couch for about 6 months, lost 20 lbs without trying (I needed to), and binge-watched Charmed episodes. Lol. Then I started reading everything I could find on past lives, astrology, numerology, mind-body connection, shamanism, energy healing, etc. I had a past life regression, saw a Reiki healer, took classes with Energy coach and Soul clearing. My mom was diagnosed with COPD and dementia and refused to do anything the doctors said. Took a healing trip to Mt. Shasta and shortly after I manifested a new job in 2017 which started out great. My energy vampire mother got progressively sicker and more hostile. I felt like I was under spiritual attack. The job became unbearable due to hostile boss (probably not a coincidence that he was much like my narcissistic mother). Quit the job in 2018. My mother died suddenly 2 months later. My precious cat was diagnosed with cancer around the same time. He died 2 months after she did. Since then I have been in a hole and the spiritual toolbox I previously had available to me no longer works. I have gained 20 lbs that I cannot lose no matter what I do. So the good thing about your article is that I see where you move back and forth and revisit stages. So I am not a failure—I am uncovering some layers!!! Thank you so much for your insights!
