A Dangerous Spiritual Impass or Par for the Course?
Ever feel like God is Jeff Probst, saying to you “i got nothin’ for ya.”?
That’s how I felt this afternoon. No need to go into details that brought me to a sobbing mess, sitting in my car in front of Unity church. What is important to me to note is the difference between this and oh, oh, so, so, many melt-downs of a spiritual nature.
Since my spiritual awakening back in 1988, I’ve been melting-down more or less continually, though some ego deaths were quite more prominent than others.
What happened today felt different for this reason:
It was the first time that I consciously had these thoughts…..
“We might not make it. Spiritual awakening on a global scope may be just yet another dream of the asleep, albeit the asleep who are sure they are awake.”
“I could just go back to sleep”
“I could stay asleep for the remainder of this incarnation.”
“I could let my mind keep me distracted with a job, projects, creating wealth, dreams, etc. for the rest of this incaration.”
The reason I had these thoughts today was because, for the first time since I woke up to notice some kind of parallel reality running right next to my 3-d experience and seeming both as close as my skin and as distant as Mars, I felt we, as a species, might not ever make it.
Personally, I felt I might live the rest of this incarnation painfully aware of that parallel existence of flow, grace, joy, ease, peace and love and yet, unable to fully embody it.
So, just being honest here …. if my posts start to be about hobbies and crafts and setting goals and fulfilling dreams …. I might be asleep again. If so, don’t wake me. It will have been a conscious decision.
