Spiritual experiences are great, but they only offer a taste of TRUTH. A Spiritual Awakening is a permanent shift of perception that comes from expanded awareness. We can be addicted to seeking spiritual experiences, but as long as there is an ego seeking or resisting anything, you are still in the cycle of suffering.
A spiritual ego can be very devious, telling us we are already Awake and nothing else is needed. BEWARE if this is happening to you. If your mind is still engaged with a personal story, or commenting on anything at all, there is still an ego in control. Get confirmation of your awakening from someone qualified to know.
Awakened awareness, wisdom from beyond the mind, is a natural consequence of a spiritual Awakening.
Deepening. The body has a mind of its own. Facing everything in life with a silent mind and open heart releases reactivity from the body.
The experience of being Spiritually Awake cannot be described, yet those who live it cannot deny it.
