Spiritual Awakening
Hi everyone! I was just wondering whether anyone else has had a spiritual awakening and is finding it hard to cope? I can’t connect the same to my friends and family anymore because I’m awake and they’re still asleep and even though I love them to bits, I’m just completely different to them now, and we want different things from life.
Is anybody else struggling?
Can’t wait to hear your answers!

Wat makes u say that
Idk
I know when people join a more spiritual path and they begin shifting their understanding of the world that they call it a 'spiritual awakening' but i don't subscribe to this. Personally i've been changing a lot where i realise i no longer belong to family etc. but i wouldn't say i've had a spiritual awakening. I did one time have a glimpse of unconditional love/dissolution of ego but even then i wouldn't call a glimpse a 'spiritual awakening' because i'm still very much attached to my ego, and i don't have as much dedication to the pursuit of ultimate Truth, i still consider myself to be playing small and dabbling in illusion for example my interest in law of attraction, astrology, understanding emotions/shadow psychology, it's all still playing with life on a mind ego level. Which is fine because how are you meant to care about truth if you still have basic survival needs to fix up.
I would say that if a person was consistently practicing the techniques that would dissolve the ego as in meditating on awareness of awareness, going on retreats a lot for example, that might be more of a person who was spirirutally awakening.
But, i understand your struggle as i've been through it myself where you become an alien essentially haha. Everyone will go through this phase, and it may require some shifting of relationships. Personally i know i have to leave my entire family to continue. But, some people will have families that will accept them for having differing ideas. It is a judgement call for you to make.
Eventually, as you continue to evolve, you will learn that although you are continuing to evolve, it is time to stop focusing so much on division or differences where this isn't necessary. Sometimes you'll feel like even an outcast to the entire society as you notice everything that's wrong with the education system, politics etc. But, it may not be best to fight against everything for the sake of having everything match up to your perception of the world.
What i have seen and heard from a person who has permanently spiritually awakened to a good degree, is that from the place of Unconditional Love onwards, there is no difference between the awakened and unawakened. It's all the same thing and this is a visceral reality. From the intellectual plane we can only pretend to try and see everyone as the same. But once you've awakened if you're on that path, you'll see it doesn't matter.
One thing i know is that it doesn't matter how much spiritual stuff i've learnt, there is still tons of 'sleepness' in me. And instead of focusing on what i've learned compared to those around me, my job is to focus on the tons and tons of sleepness in me. Otherwise there is a spiritual delusion of grandeur where i think my handle on my emotions is better than others. Which isn't true because i've had many slip ups still, and so i see that there is a lot more similarities between me and other 'sleeping' people than there is difference.
On a practical level, just figure out how to shift your relationships about. That's all.

Thanks for your response 🙂 I completely agree with most of what you’re saying, I did run away to Thailand last year for 5 months to leave my family behind and start my spiritual path, I met some fantastic people, I travelled to parallel universes, and I even teleported my phone charger at one point which was crazy. However, I was very ungrounded and I did miss my family loads, I don’t think I could ever leave my little brother and sister so I came back home 😞 but I’m stuck in limbo now and I’ve gone back to “normal life” and it sucks! I’m so closed off from everyone because if I come out of the spiritual closet, everyone around me is going to think I’m insane, they’re all still stuck in the 9-5 job reality and I’ve been travelling to different universes 😂 they’ll think I’ve gone mad! But I’m so unhappy and I don’t know whether to speak up or just go travelling again and live a spiritual path. I’m aware I still have a massive ego and so much healing to do, especially emotionally. Living from my heart is one of my aims but I just wish I had others around me who knew what I was going through, and I’m just so curious about where the “top” is and what enlightenment actually means.

Ungroundedness can be a real difficulty with this because we are searching for greater freedom but that always means chaos and disorder and of course being egos we are primarily concerned with order for survival reasons. It's always good i think to take things incrementally except for some moments where big change needs to be made.
We also need connection and support so i can understand it's horrible leaving family especially if you don't have another support circle to turn to.
I would say if you really miss your siblings and connect with them, you should keep those relationships going but from a more "i will visit you and we'll catch up" standpoint. If you have the means i think it's good to live in your own place not too far from home, still try and explore your spirituality so you don't get stuck in a limbo at home, but without entirely cutting cords. Like maybe trips around the world, small retreats etc. would be better than entirely making your lifestyle about travelling only. We can find it difficult to find new connections but know they're out there and you can find a second family who will support rather than stifle your spiritual side.
Enlightenment has layers and layers so i don't think there's ever a reaching of the top, or at least in this lifetime most never reach it. But it's good to just focus on the layer above where you're at if it's of interest
I see you're into all this third eye chakra stuff, i would reccommend you check out this guy called Phil Good, he's that type of clairaudient and clairvoyant guy who had a whole journey, in a lot of his videos he talks about how things affected his life and relationships, how he balances his energy while doing all this, while giving advice. It may be the channel for you
