Awakening is Lonely and Hard
I know we’re not alone in feeling this way, and we thought it would help some of my friends to be able to relate to how many of us are feeling. Just think about how Jesus Christ must have felt walking the earth knowing everything?! No wonder he was a man of grief. We are going through only a small amount of what he went through.
To all my friends out there who know what’s really going on…To all who intuitively see through the lies, deceptions, and delusions…
Yes, sometimes it feels more like a curse than a blessing to be awake and be able to connect the dots. Awakening with spiritual discernment is the most alienating, excruciating, lonely, challenging, and frightening journey. Yet, at the same time, it is the most freeing, liberating, expansive and empowering journey. If you find yourself struggling as you try to process all the insanity in this dark world, you are not alone.
No one talks about the challenges that accompany awakening, or the GRIEF. Not only grieving the life and illusions you once had but the realization that almost everything you thought you once knew is a LIE. The beliefs you’ve held, people you’ve trusted, principles you were taught…ALL LIES. Shattering illusions is RARELY an enjoyable experience. There is a considerable amount of discomfort that comes with growth, and the grieving process doesn’t stop there.
With each newfound realization, you then find yourself grieving all over again. Grieving the loss of many relationships with people who just don’t “get it.” Feeling alone; being ridiculed and shamed, not only by the masses, but for many of you, your very own family and friends too. Feeling like you no longer have much in common with the people you are surrounded by. Struggling with carrying on senseless, shallow conversations that lack substance with those who are still fast asleep. Even feeling disconnected from your entire support system because they can’t see what you see.
Some even grieve the loss of their ignorance – because “ignorance is bliss” and reality is harsh. Awakening can be a lonely road and you will often find yourself journeying alone. There is no way to sugarcoat it – Awakening to the realities of this world is brutal. It will have you running through the entire gamut of human emotions. You have to master the art of diving down the darkest of rabbit holes only to come out and still function in daily life, and that’s a skill people don’t talk about enough.
Some of you are struggling with feeling disconnected from family and friends, it’s as though they exist in another world. Please know you are not alone, and not only are you not alone, you have an entire tribe standing with you. We may be separated by miles, but we are deeply connected; in purpose and in spirit. – Author unknown, edited for clarification
When the truth truly sets you free and brings discernment to your mind and spirit, you will find yourself separated from the institutional church, the religious crowd, your family members, your old “friends,” and your neighbors. You no longer have anything in common with ANYONE! You are on a completely different journey than most people in the world. They can no longer understand your language because you are speaking butterfly language to caterpillars who still remain in the comfort and security of their dark, status-quo cocoon!
You will find that when God gives you His supernatural wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and discernment, it will be accompanied by sorrow and grief. This grief comes from recognizing that most folks in this world are deceived, and will never come to the knowledge of the truth.
So for the rest of your life, your journey may not include family, church members, or “friends.” Your only companions will be your Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit— the Spirit of Truth! (These “three” are “One”—Elohim) But that’s all you need! Elohim is MORE than enough! Remember, our Father’s primary purpose and agenda for each of us is to conform us to the very image and likeness of Christ, Who was “a man of sorrows who was stricken with grief” when He walked on this earth.
