Default 12 symptoms of your Awakening Divinity

12 Symptoms of your Awakening Divinity

The Shaumbra (Lightworkers) Symptoms
By Geoffrey Hoppe and Tobias

1. Body aches and pains, especially in the neck, shoulder and back. This is the result of intense changes at your Spiritual DNA level as the "Divine seed" awakens within. This too shall pass.

2. Feeling of deep inner sadness for no apparent reason. You are releasing your past (this lifetime and others) and this causes the feeling of sadness. This is similar to the experience of moving from a house where you lived in for many, many years into a new house. As much as you want to move into the new house, there is a sadness of leaving behind the memories, energy and experiences of the old house. This too shall pass.

3. Crying for no apparent reason. Similar to #2 above. It's good and healthy to let the tears flow. It helps to release the old energy within. This too shall pass.

4. Sudden change in job or career. A very common symptom. As you change, things around you will change as well. Don't worry about finding the "perfect" job or career right now. This too shall pass. You're in transition and you may make several job changes before you settle into one that fits your passion.

5. Withdrawal from family relationships. You are connected to your biological family via old karma. When you get off the karmic cycle, the bonds of the old relationships are released. It will appear as though you are drifting away from your family and friends. This too shall pass. After a period of time, you may develop a new relationship with them if it is appropriate. However, the relationship will be based in a new energy without the karmic attachments.

6. Unusual sleep patterns. It's likely that you'll awaken many nights between 2:00 – 4:00 AM. There's a lot of work going on within you, and it often causes you to wake up for a "breather." Not to worry. If you can't go back to sleep, get up and do something rather than lay in bed and worry about humanly things. This too shall pass.

7. Intense dreams. These might include war and battle dreams, chase dreams or monster dreams. You are literally releasing the old energy within, and these energies of the past are often symbolized as wars, running to escape and boogiemen. This too shall pass.

8. Physical disorientation. At times you'll feel very ungrounded. You'll be "spatially challenged" with the feeling like you can't put two feet on the ground, or that you're walking between two worlds. As your consciousness transitions into the new energy, you body sometimes lags behind. Spend more time in nature to help ground the new energy within. This too shall pass.

9. Increased "self talk." You'll find yourself talking to your Self more often. You'll suddenly realize you've been chattering away with yourself for the past 30 minutes. There is a new level of communication taking place within your being, and you're experiencing the tip of the iceberg with the self talk. The conversations will increase, and they will become more fluid, more coherent and more insightful. You're not going crazy, you're just Shaumbra (Lightworkers) moving into the new energy.

10. Feelings of loneliness, even when in the company of others. You may feel alone and removed from others. You may feel the desire to "flee" groups and crowds. As Shaumbra (Lightworkers), you are walking a sacred and lonely path. As much as the feelings of loneliness cause you anxiety, it is difficult to relate to others at this time. The feelings of loneliness are also associated with the fact that your Guides have departed. They have been with you on all of your journeys in all of your lifetimes. It was time for them to back away so you could fill your space with your own divinity. This too shall pass. The void within will be filled with the love and energy of your own True Divinity.

11. Loss of passion. You may feel totally disimpassioned, with little or no desire to do anything. That's OK, and it's just part of the process. Take this time to "do no-thing." Don't fight yourself on this, because this too shall pass. It's similar to rebooting a computer. You need to shut down for a brief period of time in order to load the sophisticated new software, or in this case, the Divine-Self energy.

12. A deep longing to go Home. This is perhaps the most difficult and challenging of any of the conditions. You may experience a deep and overwhelming desire to leave the planet and return to Home. This is not a "suicidal" feeling. It is not based in anger or frustration. You don't want to make a big deal of it or cause drama for yourself or other. There is a quiet part of you that wants to go Home. The root cause for this is quite simple. You have completed your karmic cycles. You have completed your contract for this lifetime. You are ready to begin a new lifetime while still in this physical body. During this transition process, you have an inner remembrances of what it is like to be on the other side. Are you ready to enlist for another tour of duty here on Earth? Are you ready to take on the challenges of moving into the New Energy? Yes, indeed you could go Home right now. But you've come this far, and after many, many lifetimes it would be a shame to leave before the end of the movie. Besides, Spirit needs you here to help others transition into this new energy. They will need a human guide, just like you, who has taken the journey from the old energy into the new. The path you're walking right now provides the experiences to enable you to become a Teacher of the New Divine Human. As lonely and dark as your journey can be at times, remember that you are never alone.


***Not what you would expect eh'? But so true they are. It may seem that some of the above list is sad and a bit unwanted but included in this list and not typed comes a variety of your own experiences that are allowing you to grow. I post this because I have gone through all of the above and as my ascent is still on the forefront and very much growing daily, I expect that I will experience some of the lows again. I still wake at 3am most every night. I was actually quite overjoyed to find this list as before I found it, I was experiencing all 12 at the same time and couldn't figure out for the life of me why; as I was so excited about some of the things that I was seeing and experiencing. It didn't make since to me.

Hopefully this will allow those of you who go through this to simply be able to 'truck' through it knowing that is simply your own growth and enlightenment and to look forward to what will follow.

It's all a process; A tremendous inner and spiritual process within yourself. How you get there is your journey to accomplish and yours alone.

HAPPY ENLIGHTENMENT.

- Your friend,

Crissy.

This list is nearly spot on.

The correct ones;
2,3,4,6,7,9,10,11,12
The 'incorrect' ones;
1,5,8
1) No physical pains here, but I have a tendency to 'forget' having physical pain so I'll keep an eye for out for this one.
5) Is because my family is very tight, in a way its correct but I don't really want to admit it for myself.
8) Simply not there, although I could barely stay standing after a soccer match last sunday I doubt that's what you mean (more to do with physical fatique and getting kicked frequintly than a spiritual cause)...

No need for sad face Yossarian. Sometimes going through the loles especially alll at the same time can be overwhelming and saddening. Sometimes it feels to much to bear. Some call it "The dark night of the Soal." Keep your head up. All will get better. Tell yourself this little phrase. As small as it is, it's always seemed to help me... "Oh it's only human emotion." Insert your name where I said "Oh." Works for me anyway.

This sounds like me actually, but I haven't really done ************ to accomplish this.
Except wondering too much about reality and weird states of mind.
Let's say your becoming enlightened, would you lose your emotions for life?

This is just my thoughts on the matter. Let me separate your question for a moment. Humor me.

What defines life? One definition within that wonderful book called the dictionary states: the general or universal condition of human existence.

Emotions are described as The part of the consciousness that involves feeling; sensibility.

When one is born on earth, we are born with the ability to feel emotion at least the majority of humanity is. Emotion to me is one of the biggest challenges here on this great school called Earth. (Well, sometimes it’s great, sometimes, it’s just plain draining!) Emotion in this lifetime and for many of my past lives has been one of the biggest challenges for me. If we did not have emotion, then the hardships we encounter would serve no learning purpose as we’d have no feelings one way or the other on the predicament we are faced with. Same goes with if we never had emotion toward what makes us feel good inside, we’d never have good times time to compare against the bad. We’d walk through life like robots. Emotion to me is the core of life. Therefore I find emotion to be one of the biggest training tools implemented by God for us who have accepted the challenge to return back to earth.

With that being said. When one is becoming enlightened, your sense of emotion would actually become hightened.

To lose our emotion would separate us from humanity which would then nullify our ability to learn.

From what I have learned, the older a soul is or the more lifetimes you have lived, the stricter a pull you have toward finding enlightenment. It’s almost like a reward and a way to assist others in their learning process here on earth. With each lifetime and each lesson, you come back with more of an ability to grasp Life and assist others with lessons they may be trying to learn.

When enlightened, It’s not surprising to find yourself a bit more sensitive to things around you. You begin to notice small things around you that you never noticed before. Circumstances may effect you more as your senses are becoming more aware. The good thing though is that when one becomes enlightened, things that used to torment them or bother them seem small and minute as you find an inner peace within that allows you to walk through your day differently. You will always fall upon new struggles and heartache, but you will be able to walk through them just a bit easier.

1. I have had these all my life, bad posture. Would not have been able to tell the difference between spiritual and physical ones

2. Yep

3. Big yep, huge cry about a month ago, but I was smiling the whole time.

4. I left my last job, still unemployed

5. I did this years ago, my family was holding me down.

6. Oh yeah. I keep a good book by my bed now

7. I've had vivid dreams all my life, so real that in one dream I was shot in the gut and my stomach hurt for days afterwards.

8. Oh goodies, so my klutziness is "natural"

9. I've done this all my life too...

10. All my life, I've always felt like an alien

11. Scary amounts, that I never had before!

12. Not a longing, per say, just a curiousity...I wonder what its like!

I've had a lot of those this past year. I think it has more to do with social conditioning than 'divinity.'

Most of these are symptoms of depression...

CFPurpose:

This list you posted fascinates me and I'd be very interested in finding out more about it. Would you be kind enough to give me some direction?

Thanks,
Mae

All of these symptoms could very well point to other things as they are commonly found in day to day life however when one embarks on personal enlightenment, one soon see's that the above list almost seems to fall in place simultaneously. But you keep on goin and you continue to learn and then the clouds rise and the journey is amazing.



Mae, you can google:

The Shaumbra (Lightworkers) Symptoms
By Geoffrey Hoppe and Tobias


I happened to fall upon this list whilst visiting another forum. The woman has been a pure inspiration to me who had posted it. I read it and at the time, they linked directly with what I had been going through. I've save the list ever since on my desk top. I then did some searches under "symptoms of enlightenment." You'll find that although some lists differ slightly, everyone seems to agree with almost the same type of experiences falling into place as you grow spiritually.

In order to grow, we must release the negativity within us. There are many things you can do to help release the negativity within your meditations at night. Sometimes, it seems that when you do this, you tend to experience more feelings of loss and depression the immediate day following and then suddenly you get an immense feeling of peace as your body and mind have addressed the negativity you had acknowledged, accepted it, forgave it and released it.

This is from Geoffrey Hoppe and Tobias???

I've read their stuff before and it is pretty good IMO. This piece surprises me.

This seems way off if we're talking awakening divinity. Now, if the title was, "12 Symptoms that I am rejecting my awakening divinity" or "12 ways to know you're stressed out", I might believe it.

You know you're getting there when life has a lot more joy, ease, fire, and flow.

You can choose a path of pain (my favorite so far) or a path of ease when going through your process. Humanity likes learning though pain and resistance. But you can choose which way you want to do it.

Not true. The amount of negativity one must rid of before fully accessing enlightment would Depend on an individuals past. IF you've had a pretty easy going life, you may not encounter hardly any negativity as appossed to someone who has held a lot of pent up emotion and lived in the now. There is a lot of forgiving and healing that one must address before reaching that peace in those cases. Each person will differ. The list may not have helped you Dharma but it's a list that has helped multitudes including myself understand releasing negativity once they have began their ascent.

You can resolve to live a painful process. Please don't try and make everyone believe they have to also. It's not necessary.

May I step up and announce that I in no way intended for anyone to believe that you must go through pain to be enlightened. Dear God, that was the least of my intentions. I felt that if it helped me and has helped others, It would indeed help individuals here as well. Throughout this whole thread, I made it a point to state that peace will be found.

I may have actually forgot to make it bold that within finding spirituality, our lives will grow more peaceful, joyful and rewarding.

Like I said, it all depends on the individual. As one grows within their spiritual awakening, they will come across ways to release the negativity. It is a very large step and everyone meets this point in their journey somewhere along the line. Some may take it all at once and some may find ways to do it more gradually.

Peace to you Dharma and thank you for pointing this out. The last thing I'd want is to bring anyone down. That is the least of my intentions, ever, and I hope that individuals within the forum have noticed that about me.

Take care.

Geat Post Crissy! Thanks so much. I went throught all 12 of these, wish I had this list when I was going through it. But, once you get these symptoms and look at back at them, you realize that they were just steps leading up to where you are now. Wow really amazing post, thanks again!
