A spiritual awakening signifies a profound shift in one’s perception of the world and a deepening of their spiritual understanding. A true spiritual awakening means acknowledging one’s “selfish ego”.

Recognizing the signs of a spiritual awakening can vary from person to person, as everyones journey is unique. However, common indicators may include a growing desire for inner exploration and self-reflection, a feeling of disconnect from societal norms, a heightened sensitivity to energies and emotions, and a sense of seeking deeper meaning and purpose in life.

Each person’s spiritual awakening and/or journey unfolds uniquely, guided by their own inclinations and inner calling. Being spiritual is a deeply personal experience that entails attuning oneself to our authentic essence and the underlying workings of the world—an embodiment of living in alignment with our body, mind and spiritual soul.

The transformative process of a spiritual awakening can be seen as a personal self-discovery where we can gain deeper insights into our true nature and discover our life’s purpose.  It can be seen as a journey that encompasses an individual’s personal quest to understand the relationship between their own beliefs and the world they inhabit.

By cultivating the power of intention, nurturing trust in one’s intuition, and embracing the practice of mindfulness, we are able to open ourselves as a seeker of our own personal truth, uncovering our true purpose in life and unlocking the untapped potential deep inside us.

 

The Ego

In psychology the ego represents the part of our mind that deals with reality and helps us navigate the world. It’s like a mediator between our instinctual desires and our moral values. The ego helps us make rational decisions by considering the consequences and the world around us.

The ego also helps us understand social norms and expectations. It guides us to behave appropriately in different situations. It stops us from saying or doing things that might be impolite or disrespectful, even if we feel like doing so.

The Selfish Ego

The selfish ego refers to a state of being in which an individual is primarily concerned with their own self-interest, desires, and needs, often at the expense of others. It is characterized by a strong sense of personal entitlement, a lack of consideration for others, and a focus on satisfying immediate gratification.

When the selfish ego dominates, individuals tend to prioritize their own wants and ambitions above the well-being and concerns of others. They may exhibit behaviors such as selfishness, manipulation, greed, and a disregard for ethical or moral principles. Their actions are driven by a self-centered perspective that seeks personal gain and advantage, often without regard for the consequences or impact on others.

 

Releasing the Selfish Ego

Opening to a spiritual awakening invites us to recognize and address our selfish ego by examining our self-awareness, empathy, and compassion. Releasing the selfish ego requires a willingness to reflect on one’s behavior, motivations, and the impact that we have on others.

Your Unique Spiritual Awakening

Everyone’s spiritual journey is unique, and there is no “right” way to awaken your spirituality. Each individual has their own beliefs, experiences, and paths that resonate with them. It is important to find what works best for you and to approach your journey with an open mind and heart.

Remember, there is no destination to reach, but rather a continuous unfolding and growth. Be patient and compassionate with yourself, allowing space for growth, transformation, and the integration of new insights and experiences along the way. Trust in your own innate wisdom and know that the path to spiritual awakening is a personal and ongoing process.
