What does it mean to be awakened?
This is a term that we’ve collectively
created, and holds a different meaning to each of us. As we travel our
paths of life, our consciousness forever evolves, expands and absorbs
information. It is the way in which we use this knowledge that
determines how awakened we are.
You see the big picture.
The more we can fit the puzzle pieces together, the more of the picture
we can see. To awaken is to expand your awareness and understand that EVERYTHING exists. There is infinite room within source
for it to express itself in every possible form.
Every possibility, every parallel reality, impossible idea and contradicting thought exists because why not.
The spark of creation exists beyond
logic; it is limitless until it creates limit. It is empty until it
creates whole. It is stagnant until it creates infinite motion.
You want to connect with people.The
sensation of releasing your feelings through speaking about them
literally makes you feel lighter. Energy pulses out of your heart and
floods your body with an uplifting, relaxing wave that pushes you to
keep connecting. It’s natural to exchange energy through conversation;
that’s one way of connection.
There is a global plague of disconnection amongst us.
The design of society combined with
technology creates a recipe for the most convenient disconnection. We
can use technology in the most amazing, in-tune way with the Earth when
we understand that it’s even a possibility!
Mainstream, pop culture and anything that’s mentally programming is distasteful. Watching
reality shows and indulging into the lives of celebrities is actually
quite interesting when you see it for what it is; a tool for
distraction. With the help of the internet, traditional television has
started to dissipate.
It is all extremely purposeful; see exactly what you are watching for what it is.
You are creative. We
are all on different levels of production of our passions. Some have
beautiful, intricate thoughts that stay in that form; as an ethereal
idea. Others create with their hands, build houses, blow glass, garden
or sew.
Some write, draw, play music and dance.
These are all methods of creation that are crucial to you finding and
following that spark of passion within you.
Ask yourself: what do you enjoy doing most with your time?
You want fundamental change in this world! The state of our environment, economy, food production system,
educational system and governmental system is all backwards! This is indeed a hot topic for many.
There is still a large sum people who don’t see the grand picture and will argue that everything isn’t that bad.
We are stuck in the mindset that since
we’ve been stuck in the cycle of traditionally passed down oppression
for so long, that it either shouldn’t be changed or that it’s not
possible.
We’re working towards a world where
everyone get’s what they want and by that point our consciousness will
be at a level where everyone wants the same thing: to live freely, fully
and understand what life truly is.
You are sensitive. Ultimately, every human is extremely sensitive mentally, emotionally, psychically and physically.
It is the way in which we express our
sensitivities, feelings and thoughts that allows that openness to grow.
Some children are born into environments that are abusive and that seed
of connection isn’t able to be planted.
Grow with your awareness, express how
you feel to your friends and family and that sensitive feeling of
vulnerability becomes an exploration of who you really are.
You eat (as) healthy (as you can).Sometimes
it’s hard to keep up a strictly healthy diet; but when you can maintain
a constant flow of eating well, snacking on some junk food isn’t the
worst. Our bodies are resilient and self healing.
If you were to eat raw, organic
vegetables grown from your own backyard with a balance of protein for a
year straight, your body would adjust to such a higher vibration.
Eating at McDonalds after that would be a
lot more difficult and taxing on your body. Listen to your body and eat
what feels right, it varies for everyone.
You want to show people the truth. This gets confused a lot within the new age community when the act of
teaching people a truth becomes more important than the truth itself.
Everyone wants share their perception oftheir
reality which in itself is a truth. When we want credit or
acknowledgement for sharing, more than we want to share; that’s when our
priorities need to be checked.
You can say its because of a global
shift in consciousness, a destiny we have arrived at due to spiritual
evolution, or the outcome of strange times, but, many people all across
the globe are going through intense personal changes and sensing an
expansion of consciousness. Personal changes of this magnitude can be
difficult to recognize and to understand, but here are
21 traits of an awakening soul, a ‘sensitive’, or an ‘empath.’
1. Being in public places is sometimes
overwhelming. Since our walls between self and other are dissolving, we
haven’t really learned to distinguish between someone else’s energy and
our own. If the general mood of the crowd is herd-like or negative, we
can feel this acutely, and may feel like retreating into our own private
space. When we have recharged our batteries with meditation, spending
time in nature, far away from other people, or just sitting in quiet
contemplation, we are ready to be with the masses again. In personal
relationships, we often will feel someone else’s emotions as our own. It
is important to have this higher sense of empathy, but we must learn to
allow another person’s emotions while observing them and keeping our
empathy, but, realizing that not all emotions belong to
us.
Social influence can dampen our own innate wisdom.
2. We
know things without having to intellectually figure them out. Often called intuitive awareness, we have ‘
a-ha’
moments and insights that can explain some of the most complex theories
or phenomenon in the world. Some of the most brilliant minds of our
time just ‘know.’ Adepts and sages often were given downloads of
information from higher states of consciousness after meditating or
being in the presence of a more conscious individual; this is happening
for more people with more frequency. As we trust our intuition more
often, it grows stronger. This is a time of ‘thinking’ with our hearts
more than our heads. Our guts will no longer be ignored. Our dreams are
becoming precognitive and eventually our conscious thoughts will be as well.
3.
Watching television or most of
main stream media,
including newspapers and many Hollywood movies is very distasteful to
us. The mindset that creates much, but not all, of the programming on
television and in cinema is abhorrent. It commodifies people and
promotes violence. It reduces our intelligence and numbs our natural
empathetic response to someone in pain.
4. Lying to us is nearly impossible. We
may not know exactly what truth you are withholding, but we can also
tell (with our developing intuition and
ESP
skills) that something isn’t right. We also know when you have other
emotions, pain, love, etc. that you aren’t expressing. You’re an open
book to us. We aren’t trained in counter-intelligence, we are just
observant and knowing. While we may pick up on
physical cues, we can look into your eyes and know what you are feeling.
5. We may pick up symptoms of your
cold, just like men who get morning sickness when their wives are
pregnant. Sympathy pains, whether emotional or physical, are something
we experience often. We tend to absorb emotion through the solar plexus,
considered the place we ‘stomach emotion’ so as we learn to strengthen
this chakra center, we may sometimes develop digestive issues. Grounding
to the earth can help to re-establish our emotional center.
Walking barefoot is a great way to re-ground.
6. We tend to root for the underdog, those without voices, those who have been beaten down by
the matrix,
etc. We are very compassionate people, and these marginalized
individuals often need more love. People can sense our loving hearts, so
complete strangers will often tell us their life stories or approach us
with their problems. While we don’t want to be a dumping ground for
everyone’s issues, we are also a good ear for those working through
their stuff.
7. If we don’t learn how to set proper
boundaries, we can get tired easily from taking on other people’s
emotions. Energy Vampires are drawn to us like flies to paper, so we
need to be extra vigilant in protecting ourselves at times.
8. Unfortunately, sensitives or empaths often turn to drug abuse or
alcohol to block some of their emotions and to ‘protect’ themselves from feeling the pain of others.
9. We are all becoming healers. We
naturally gravitate toward healing fields, acupuncture, reiki, Qi-Gong,
yoga, massage, midwivery, etc. are fields we often find ourselves in. We
know that the collective needs to be healed, and so we try our best to
offer healing in
whatever form we are most drawn to. We also turn away from the
‘traditional’ forms of healing ourselves. Preferring natural foods,
herbs, and holistic medicine as ways to cure every ailment.
10. We see the possibilities before others do. Just like when the church told Copernicus he was wrong, and he stood by his
heliocentric theory, we know what the masses refuse to believe. Our minds are light-years ahead.
11. We are creative. We sing, dance, paint, invent, or write. We have amazing imaginations.
12. We require more solitude than the average person.
13. We might get bored easily, but we are really good at entertaining ourselves.
14. We have a difficult time doing
things we don’t want to do or don’t really enjoy. We really do believe
life was meant to be an expression of joy. Why waste it doing something
you hate? We aren’t lazy, we are discerning.
15. We are obsessed with bringing the
truth to light. Like little children who say, “that’s not fair” we want
to right the wrongs of the world, and we believe it often just takes
education. We endeavor to explain the unexplainable and find answers to
the deep questions of life. We are seekers, in the Campbellian paradigm.
‘
The Hero With a Thousand Faces.”
16. We can’t keep track of time. Our imaginations often get away with us and a day can feel like a minute, a week, a day.
17. We abhor routine.
18. We often disagree with authority (for obvious reasons).
19. We will often be kind, but if you
are egotistical or rude, we won’t spend much time with you or find an
excuse to not hang out with people who are obsessed with themselves. We
don’t ‘get’ people who are insensitive to other people’s feelings or
points of view.
20. We may be vegan or vegetarian because we can sense a certain energy of the food we eat, like if an animal was
slaughtered inhumanely. We don’t want to consume negative energy.
21. We wear our own emotions on our
sleeves and have a hard time ‘pretending’ to be happy if we aren’t. We
avoid confrontation, But will quietly go about changing the world in
ways you can’t even see.

masses of people in pubic spaces again. You possess a high level of
empathy but need to learn to recognize that these emotions are not your
own and belong to others.
