The Six Stages of a Spiritual Awakening
So, you’re having an existential crisis. Welcome to the club.
Remember 2019, when life was more simple? Like a hazy memory of a more pleasant time. Back when we were mostly asleep and life was easy.
Then Rona happened and nudged most of us (willingly or not) into waking up to the reality of life.
Painful, enlightening, scary but worth it.
Where are you on your spiritual journey?
Stage 1 — The Trigger
aka Your Dark Night of the Soul
Life is NOT going the way you wanted.
You’re not happy. Nothing feels real anymore. You may be depressed, anxious, confused, and empty. Even angry.
You’ve followed society’s plan for life (career, relationship, kids, house etc.) but disillusion is still nagging you.
It usually happens in your late 20s to early 30s after you’ve had traditional success. (Psst, it’s around the time of your Saturn Return.)
You may feel empty, alone, and numb. You push people away.
You reach the crossroads. You could go back to sleep like you always do, but this time, it’s different.
