This is a transcription of a video by ‘theoriginalmarkz’ that I encountered on Telegram. He read the following message out:
Awakening is the most liberating, alienating, excruciating, empowering, lonely, confusing, freeing, frightening, expansive journey and if you find yourself struggling, trying to process all this insanity, believe me when I say, ‘you are not alone’.
No one talks about the darkness that accompanies awakening, or the grief we go through, not only grieving the life and illusions that you once had, but the realisation that almost everything you thought you knew, is a lie. The beliefs you’ve held, the people you’ve trusted, the principles you were taught… all lies.
Shattering illusions is never an enjoyable experience. There is a considerable amount of discomfort that comes with growth, and the grieving process doesn’t stop there with these new found realisations.
You will find yourself grieving all over again. Grieving the loss of the 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, by your very own family and friends too.
Feeling that you no longer have much in common with the people you are surrounded by, struggling with carrying on bullshit conversations that lack substance with those that are still sound 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 because you will often find yourself journeying alone. There is no way to sugar-coat it – awakening to the realities of this world is brutal. It’ll 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 that people don’t talk about enough. Some of you are, or will, struggle by being 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 group of like-minded folks standing with you. We may be separated by miles but we are deeply connected in mind, purpose and spirit.
God loves you and so do I, signed Dave.
The reason that this resonated with me is that it is exactly my experience. If you are feeling like this, I want you to know that I stand with you in this spiritual battle of awakening. I believe that God will protect us and that better days lie ahead.
