3 Scary Steps To Enlightenment Most People Don’t Want To Take

We sometimes tend to think of “enlightenment” as an uplifting, satisfying, and enjoyable process.  What could be more blissful and fun than waking up to your authentic self?  Awakening is one of the most exciting processes you could be a part of in life.

But the truth is, there are many many steps down the road to enlightenment that many people don’t want to take.  Why? Because they are painful, threatening, or depressing.  Not to mention, they can be incredibly scary.  Sometimes, becoming the greatest version of yourself requires you to do things that you have nothing but pure resistance for.

The goal of this article is to inspire people to take a look inside themselves and see if there are any crucial steps that need to be taken for the good of the evolution of their soul.  I still struggle with these things myself on a daily basis, so I know what it is like to resist the things which will benefit the soul the most.

A Guide To Being Unhappy

will's picture

I've noticed a very strange thing recently. The articles we post about finding happiness are some of the least popular things on our site. Articles about coping with unhappiness are fairly popular, but it seems like there's a kind of taboo against truly being happy in our society. With that in mind, I present to you our guide to being unhappy:

Now the first key to being unhappy is something almost everyone does already, and this may seem somewhat contradictory, but if you really want to be unhappy, avoid your pain and suffering. All the unpleasant things in your life, just ignore them, don't deal with them at all. This will ensure those things keep building up, and this is a tried and true technique for creating maximum unhappiness in your life.

Unhappiness thrives in unconsciousness, so you must distract yourself from your own life. This is the root of addiction, and there are countless forms to choose from. There's the more socially acceptable ones, like television and compulsive eating, and the less socially acceptable ones, like illegal drugs. I suggest one of the more socially acceptable methods as you will generally have a lot more support from other people, which makes things easier.

Another great tool for unhappiness is judgment, and it's very effective at destroying happiness. Doesn't matter much if you judge yourself or others since the two are closely connected. However, I suggest judging others since it's a mask for our own self-judgment and helps to add an extra layer of unconsciousness. Keeping your attention focused outwards will help with avoiding your inner feelings and really assist in anchoring in unhappiness.

How Being an Empath is Connected to Spiritually Awakening

By ALETHEIA LUNA

I’m going to say something crazy.

I think we’re all empaths.

I believe that being an empath is actually our natural state of being.

Far from being an exclusive label or special group of people, I believe empaths are rife among us.

I believe men are empaths, women are empaths, children are empaths, the elderly are empaths, straight people are empaths, gay people are empaths, intergenders are empaths, and throughout the entire world, I believe that empaths exist in every culture, every tradition, every religion and every continent.

The only thing is this:

most of us have lost touch with our abilities to tune into the feelings of others.

Below are 15 of the most inspiring quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson. I hope you enjoy them!

1. Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

2. To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

An Invitation to Outgrow Your Limitations

By Guy Finley

Are you inviting limitations? Have you ever noticed how the more negative you get, the more difficult everything about your life becomes, including being able to do the simplest things? It’s like suddenly sinking into dark molasses, where not only can’t you move, but everything you don’t want seems stuck to you!

To the spiritually uninitiated, it feels as if you’ve been dropped into a river of resistance but, in truth, you are being pulled into it by a lower level of self that wants you to look at whatever challenges you in life as an adversary. Its attempt at deception – to negatively alter your perception – is the only power it has to keep you from seeing unwanted moments as they are in reality: an invitation from the Divine to outgrow your present limitations. Regardless the nature of the trial set before you, it asks: “Would you like to live in a larger world, one without fear? Do you want to be less worried, or angry, and more at peace with yourself?”

3 Signs Your Child is An Old Soul

Children are beautiful creatures; they are raw, brutal, compassionate and deserve a lot more credit! They operate entirely from their emotional body, using feelings as their guidance system. Their connection to Source, their overpowering imagination and surreal way of thinking is something that seems to dissipate into the design of society.

As we grow from children to adults, if we stayed in our emotional bodies, our world would operate based on feeling rather than hard logic. It would be fantastical, nonsensical and literally magical. Our belief systems would have stayed open throughout our development and the idea of impossibility would not exist.

Children that are considered old souls are those here with a purpose to spread their timeless wisdom through a newly born vessel. There’s something so captivating about a child that has brought forth so much information and insight from the other side.

Waking Up From The Biggest Illusion In The World

By Frank M. Wanderer, Ph.D
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

We live here on Earth, together with billions of fellow human beings. That we live is an irrefutable empirical fact. Similarly, the fact that other people live on Earth, too, is also an empirical fact.

We do not merely live, however, but we are also personalities. We are personalities who are similar to each other in various respects, and largely different from each other in other respects. That we are personalities, different from each other is also an empirical fact for us.

Out of these two experiences, however, only one is true, the other is deception. Only one is a fact, the other is an illusion, and the biggest illusion in the world at that.

Daily Message ~ Thursday May 28, 2015

When you yearn for the energies of Home, what you are really yearning for is the energy of complete and total acceptance, exactly as you are. You can create this to a great extent for yourself, by loving yourself unconditionally and embracing your unique energy and offerings. Spend time in the activities that bring you joy. Give yourself permission to be you. Shine in your truth, and you will be able to draw to you the others who recognize and appreciate you just as you are. But most of all, give yourself acceptance and unconditional love first, and you will be anchoring the energies of heaven on earth, and embodying the very things you most wish to experience. ~Archangel Gabriel
