Are You Having A Spiritual Awakening?

I love to talk about spiritual awakening and the great shift in human consciousness and creating a new planet earth. I realized that I have never offered any practical information on what the characteristics of this awakening will look and feel like for you and how you can recognize that it is happening to you. I have gathered a list of symptoms that I and others have experienced. Everyone has their own path so we may experience all of them or possibly just a few.

One thing that I have consistently repeated is that I know that this change is happening right now. If it happened to me then I believe it will happen to all. Some may judge this as coming from the lunatic fringe. The time is not their’s for this information. There are millions of people going through this right now. Look around and you will find kindred spirit all over.

This change can often brought on by tragic events such as a family death, a sickness or disease or anything that may “rock your world.” It can happen slowly or with a bang. Everyone is different but this list of signs of awakening will give you some clues as to what is happening to you. For me it was a bang and I really had no idea what was happening until I started reading stuff like this and kept having “aha” moments. Then it all made sense.

Maybe this will give you one of those moments.

Body aches and pains, especially in the neck, shoulder and back. Constant feel for the need to stretch, This stretching is to release blocks and allow the energy to flow freely. This is the result of intense changes at your DNA level and an increase of life force running through body especially through your spine. This will pass with time.

Complete change of diet. Food that tasted good before now leaves you with a felling of nausea. Lighter foods like fruits and vegetables are usually what feels right. Listen to your body. The body’s intelligence is real. Be gentle with yourself and if it feels right to eat the same thing everyday, do it. Avoid eating something just because you “used to” do it. You are truly harmonizing your body, mind and spirit into the one being that you are. Allow your body to become an equal partner with your mind. I know we are used to the mind controlling but quieting the mind (ego) is one of the major changes you will experience.

Frequent crying. Your spirit is coming to the forefront of your consciousness and when this happens your body reacts with feeling of love and extreme joy. It’s good and healthy to let the tears flow. It helps to release the old energy within and allow the new energy to integrate. These are usually tears of joy and a feeling of intense love for the people and events that are around you.

A heightened ability to feel energy. Not only of a place but also of other people. You use this ability to feel the intent of another rather than listening to the words. This is just another example of using your body’s intelligence and not relying strictly on your mind as in the past. The feel and the actions of another will be your tool for discernment. The body plays the major role in the use of this tool.

Feeling of deep inner sadness for no apparent reason. You are releasing your past (this lifetime and others) and this causes the feeling of sadness. This is similar to the experience of moving from a house where you lived in for many, many years into a new house. As much as you want to move into the new house, there is a sadness of leaving behind the memories, energy and experiences of the old house. This will not last long.

Sudden change in job or career. A very common symptom. As you change, things around you will change as well. Don’t worry about finding the “perfect” job or career right now. You’re in transition and you may make several job changes before you settle into one that fits your passion. Remember you are creating a new person with this process and what you have done before may not feel right to continue doing. This is true for not only jobs but all activities.

Withdrawal from family relationships. You are connected to your biological family via old karma. When you get off the karmic cycle, the bonds of the old relationships are released. It will appear as though you are drifting away from your family and friends. This too shall pass. After a period of time, you may develop a new relationship with them if it is appropriate. However, the relationship will be based in the new energy without the karmic attachments.

Unusual sleep patterns. It’s likely that you’ll awaken many nights between 2:00 and 4:00 AM. There’s a lot of work going on within you, and it often causes you to wake up for a “breather.” In the past when we sleep is when we are truly awake so with an awakening you will not require the same amount of sleep. If you can’t go back to sleep, get up and do something. You will find that you are vividly connected and creative at these times. Rather than lay in bed and worry about humanly things get up and enjoy the moment. It has been called the 3AM club.

Intense dreams or no dreams at all. With an awakening your higher self or god self, which is the new captain of the ship, can use dream time as the time to do intense work hence intense dreams. On the other hand if you awaken with a bang and a lot of the work is done when you are awake then sleep time will be a time for body rest and rejuvenation. There will be no need for dreams. It can go either way and everyone’s experience will be different, but it will be one way or the other.

Physical disorientation. At times you’ll feel very ungrounded. You may feel “spaced out” and can’t put two feet on the ground. You may feel that you’re walking between two worlds and you are. As your consciousness transitions into the new energy, your body sometimes lags behind. Spend more time in nature to help ground the new energy within.

Increased “self talk.” You’ll find yourself talking to your Self more often. You’ll suddenly realize you’ve been chattering away with yourself for the past 30 minutes. There is a new level of communication taking place within your being, and you’re experiencing the tip of the iceberg with the self talk. The conversations will increase, and they will become more fluid, more coherent and more insightful. You’re not going crazy, you’re just moving into the new energy.

Feelings of loneliness, even when in the company of others. You may feel alone and removed from others. You may feel the desire to flee groups and crowds. You are walking a sacred and lonely path. As much as the feelings of loneliness cause you anxiety, it is difficult to relate to others at this time. The feelings of loneliness are also associated with the fact that you are not on the same wavelength or vibration as the people around you. This is the physics of the awakening. Your cells vibrate faster so the energy you put out will not harmonize with others unless they are of like vibration. This is the kind of stuff that gives so called new-agers the labels of woo-woo or out there because you are living in a different world.

Increased passion. Passion for life and enjoying every little thing that is around you. This passion in the beginning is usually channeled into spiritual topics. A desire to immerse yourself into anything that has to do with spirituality. It may be a new found passion for church, but most likely it will have to do with topics of enlightenment and awakening with the desire to discover what the heck is happening. The passion will remain as you transition into the new consciousness as passion and emotion are the engine of your ability to create.

The recognition of sychronicities in your life. Things that you desire suddenly appear for you. Your intuition is heightened and you just “know” that things are put there for you. This is the beginning of knowing that you have the inner power to create whatever you choose. Express your desire for change and it will happen. At first you will think it is your guardian angel or God doing it or in my case my Father. As it keeps happening you realize that it is you who is doing the creating or in essence co-creating with the universe.

A deep longing to go Home. This is perhaps the most difficult and challenging of any of the conditions. You may experience a deep and overwhelming desire to leave the planet and return to Home. This is not a “suicidal” feeling. It is not based in anger or frustration. You don’t want to make a big deal of it or cause drama for yourself or other. There is a quiet part of you that wants to go Home. The root cause for this is quite simple. You have completed your karmic cycles. You have completed your contract for this lifetime. You are ready to begin a new lifetime while still in this physical body. During this transition process, you have an inner remembrance of what it is like to be on the other side.

Are you ready to enlist for another tour of duty here on Earth? Are you ready to take on the challenges of moving into the New Energy? Yes, indeed you could go Home right now. But you’ve come this far, and after many, many lifetimes it would be a shame to leave before the end of the movie. Besides, Spirit needs you here to help others transition into the new energy. They will need a human guide, just like you, who has taken the journey from the old energy into the new. The path you’re walking right now provides the experiences to enable you to become a Teacher of the New Divine Human. As lonely and dark as your journey can be at times, remember that you are never alone.

These things happened to me. Not all but most. I went from a “normal” North American male who loved competitive sports, cars and gambling to a completely different person in a matter of a couple of weeks. I went from a guy who never went to a church except for weddings and funerals.

A person who never thought much deeper than who was going to win a particular game to a person who was totally immersed in new age spirituality. Devouring books that had been channeled by entities, to studying eastern religions and aboriginal rituals, to asking the big questions like the meaning of life and our place in the universe. Having so many “aha” moments and creating the inner peace that comes from having the answers to the questions.

I now consider myself the luckiest guy in the world for having these experiences. I know that it will happen to all of us. Look around. You will see it happening. You may be write this off as flower child, woo-woo mumbo jumbo. You probably aren’t reading this right now anyway if you do. But if you are, I hope this list will be useful to help you recognize that you are not going crazy. You are just experiencing the natural evolution of our species to the next level of consciousness.

Damn it sure feels good!

Welcome to the new energy!

You are the new human on the New Planet Earth!

Who Are The Dumb Animals Again?

May 18, 2008 · Filed Under Humanity · 1 Comment

Are animals dumb? I have heard that said before. As we are evolving into the next step of human evolution, everything about how we interact will change. When I am looking for examples of how humans will be, I always look to two groups to give me the answers. One is young children under 10 and the other is nature. One of the characteristics of new human behavior is the attribute of unconditional love for all things and knowing that we are all connected by an invisible web. This shift into unity consciousness is constantly bringing up questions for me about how we will change in different areas that are present now. Like eating, shelter, daily activities and as in my last article - language and communication. This is a continuation of the discussion of language in the new age.

We like to think that we are better than animals because we have the ability to think and speak. I always thought that this notion was kind of elitist but since my awakening in 2000 I know this to be a myth. I am no different than that whale in the ocean or the ant crawling along the dirt. We like to separate our selves from animals because that is how we have been. We have lived in a consciousness of duality where we believe that we are separate. Not only separate but better than the animals and also each other. To use animals as anything to emulate is a silly concept. Isn’t it? Anyone who studies animal behavior or is a true animal lover may not agree.

In my last article, I brought up the point that we may use non verbal communication as opposed to speaking with words as words leaves room for misinterpretation. Communicating by using body language, eye to eye contact and possibly telepathically are some examples of non verbal communication. Mass consciousness is a concept that modern physics is just scratching the surface on and if you read science journals you will see that objects communicating through an unseen connecting web is now almost considered a fact in quantum physics. This web is what new age spiritualists (labels are so limiting and divisive) have talked about for 20 years or longer. Is communicating with each other in this way so far fetched?

Look at the animals. How do they communicate? They seem to know what the others in their flock or herd are doing or going to do. How do they do that? I believe that they do that through the unseen web that connects them. Animal scientists will also say that many species use differing verbal sounds to communicate different things. Things like threats that are nearby or where to find food sources. Have you ever watched birds? If one finds some interesting morsel they all seem to come out of nowhere to join in. The insect world is a great example of non verbal communication.

They are amazing at getting together as a unit to accomplish whatever they attempt. Ants are a beautiful example of co-operation and living in harmony with each other. They, to me, have a very sophisticated level of communication between each other. We use the word “dumb” at times to describe someone who doesn’t speak. Are animals dumb just because they don’t speak words like we do?

I was reading an article about the problem Tokyo was having with crows. The crow population has wildly increased in the last 10 years and they are causing problems with the electrical grid. They are nesting on power poles and shorting out transformers causing power outages. Tokyo’s electric company has a special brigade of workers that go around and spot nests and destroy them. The article was about how the crows have adapted to this attack on their nests by building “dummy” nests that are empty in an attempt to divert the “crow brigade” away from the real nests. Doesn’t sound very dumb to me. Do animals think? This must take some pretty high level communication between them to accomplish this trickery and also some process of thought.

Communication between the cetaceans (whales and dolphins) has been well documented and studied. Of course from my “wild” perspective it is obvious that these mammals would have a very intricate level of communication as I believe that they possess the highest, most enlightened consciousness of any species on earth, including humans. Their sounds may seem like chatter to us but what does our chatter sound like to them. Whales and dolphins are excellent examples of unity, harmony and heart to heart communication that will be attributes of human behavior in the new age.

You may say that animals are dumb creatures that just sit around all day and do nothing. How can we be like them.

We seem to gauge our existence and our worth by what we “do.” We run around, chase the dollar and are seemingly unhappy unless we are doing something. With a new perspective on what life is and who we are, that behavior will also change. The animals probably look at us and say to each other - Those humans are sure silly. They race around in circles just to end back at the same spot and then think they are smarter than us because we just relax and enjoy the day. Who are the enlightened ones?

It is well known that migrating animals use the unseen magnetic grid to guide them in their migrations. The idea that there is an unseen web for communication between us may seem the stuff of science fiction but it wasn’t long ago that gravity and magnetism occupied that same position in our consciousness. I know we like to proliferate the concept that if we can’t see it, isn’t real but surely there has been enough proof of grids around us that serve different purposes for us to believe that there may be a web that we tap into subconsciously to communicate with each other. Animals use it every day.

Language and communication for awakened humans on the new earth may resemble our animal brothers and sisters, where we use non verbal communication as our primary connection. Nature seems to get along just fine without words. I believe that we know that we are merely one species of animals, but for me to suggest that humans are the same as animals will probably not go over very well.

Looking at the animals as an example of an enlightened human’s behavior makes perfect sense to me. They are certainly not dumb and their methods of communication are highly evolved. If we learn to trust non verbal communication as real and valid then it may be the new form of language for the new human on the new earth.

Then we can be “dumb” like the rest of the animals on earth.
