A Message To the Awake from an Unknown Author
Wed 8:39 am +01:00, 13 Oct 2021This resonated greatly with me. Even my wife of 48 years, finds something else to do rather than discuss reality. I was sent to Coventry at work during the Afghan invasion, and 9/11. It sure is not easy being awake.
A message to the awake from an unknown author..
“To all my friends out there who know what’s really going on… To all my conspiracy theorist friends… Yes, sometimes it’s a curse and not always a blessing to be awake.
Awakening is the most liberating, alienating, excruciating, empowering, lonely, confusing, freeing, frightening, expansive journey.
If you find yourself struggling as you try to process all this insanity, you are not alone.
No one talks about the darkness that accompanies awakening, or the grief.
Not only grieving the life and illusions you once had, but the realization that almost everything you thought you once knew, is a lie.
The beliefs you’ve held, people you’ve trusted, principles you were taught- all lies.
Shattering illusions is rarely an enjoyable experience.
There is a considerable amount of discomfort that comes with growth and the grieving process doesn’t stop there. With these newfound realizations, you then find yourself grieving all over again.
Grieving for our children, knowing all too well the broken world they are inheriting. Grieving the loss of 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, your very own family and friends too.
Feeling like you no longer have much in common with the people you are surrounded by.
Struggling with carrying on bullshit, shallow conversations that lack substance with those who are still fast 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 and 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 will 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 people don’t talk about enough.
Some of you are struggling with feeling 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 tribe standing with you. We may be separated by miles, but we are deeply connected; in purpose and in spirit.”
