Personal Message – I’m ready to start talking about my spiritual awakening and enlightenment

Hi Everyone, just a quick update to let you know that I’m going to start talking about my spiritual awakening and ego-death as well as the bigger picture of enlightenment. It’s 10 years since my world was tipped upside down by my own awakening, but now I’m finally ready to start talking about the ups and downs. The good, the bad and the not so pretty about spiritual awakenings. They’re not all bliss and unicorns, there’s also a lot of social disillusionment, confusion and grieving as you try to make sense of your new world.

Hey everybody welcome. I just want to give you a quick update that I am planning to try to grow this Channel and produce more content for it. If you follow me on social media you’ll see that I’m not on social media. I post maybe once every 6 months or every year perhaps, but I feel very compelled at the moment to start creating more content.

I had my Spiritual Awakening about 10 years ago and it completely revolutionized my life and how I view the world and how I interact with the world.

I am naturally more inclined towards the the Hermit side of my nature. After all, my nickname is the gregarious hermit, but I think being in isolation and an introvert is more my natural self. And talking to the camera is very uncomfortable and I do find it very difficult. But at the same time, each day I see so many people struggling with life in general and trying to find their purpose and, you know, just wrestling with that whole spiritual side of themselves. And I think I can use my Awakening experience, which totally transformed my life, and help other people overcome a lot of the hurdles that are holding them back in their own life too.

So I am trying very hard to just change myself and get more comfortable talking to the camera like this. And I want to share as much of the knowledge as I can. So going forward I’m going to try and post things maybe not every day but at least weekly. And I’m going to start to cover more topics like spiritual Awakenings and how those can really impact your life. And not necessarily in the ways that you might think.

Spiritual Awakenings are not all smooth sailing

A lot of people think a spiritual awakening is just bliss and wonderful, and on the one hand it is, but the downside to that is that you may feel like you no longer fit in with society. You can’t relate to your friends the way that you used to and life doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense in a lot of cases. So I want to try and help people overcome some of those hurdles. But also talk bigger picture about progressing towards Enlightenment. My own experience taught me a lot of lessons and gave me a lot of simple analogies I think that can help people on their own journey through life and attain Enlightenment themselves.

And again it’s not all as glorious as you may think it is. Your problems don’t just go away completely, but they are no longer problems.

Enlightenment causes a shift in how you process the world

There’s a real shift in perspective and not just like a faith-based shift where you just believe so strongly that something is the way it is. But mentally, there’s a shift in the way that your brain works in that you perceive the world differently. And getting beyond those little steps that you need to make in order to to make your mind change, and kind of flip that switch is something that I think I can start to help people do.

Socially Awkward

Initially when I first started talking about this I just felt so self-conscious. And every time I opened my mouth to……. when I was excited about something and I wanted to to tell my friend what had happened or my friends, my wife, anybody that would listen, it just felt really weird as soon as the words came out of my mouth. I thought this just this just sounds so bizarre and so strange. I sound like I got abducted by aliens or something.

So I actually kind of shut down a little bit more and didn’t really talk about it. But I feel now I’m in a place where I’m more comfortable coming forward and just sharing the knowledge that I have, because I think it can help so many people.

And if you have any suggestions for what you’d like me to talk about, you can leave them in the comments below [contact me] and I’ll try to make videos about those ideas. And also, I want to take you outside a little bit more as well and get you out there in nature so that you can see some of the connections that I see with the world around us.

Alright thanks for watching.

Bye.

My Goal

As you can see from my little video above, my goal moving forward is to produce content that will help people navigate their own spiritual awakening. The process isn’t necessarily straightforward and can be fraught with confusion and self doubt. But hang in there and I’ll do my best to guide you. Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
