Awakening hurts. But I can take it

Can you relate?

We are glad to hear about the awakening part, but could you please be a bit more specific on the pain part?

I can relate. It seems like every breakthrough involves going through an uncomfortable block.

As a regular person, I feel like I'm hurting and often I feel anger or inner conflict or just pain in general, from wherever, justified by whatever.

At the same time, I don't think my inner struggle is more troublesome or more painful than anyone else's. But the fact that I can see myself hurting rather than blindly going through the motions of life not even aware of my own affliction both makes me feel more aware and yet also very conscious of my own struggle. I hesitate to call it suffering because I feel love and happiness regularly, too.

I feel like I'm trying to heal myself of a dis-ease and it's a process that requires a lot of patience and gives me trials.

Yes, I had a similar revelation the other day. Perhaps we can say that a spiritual path traveler embraces the thunderstorm as well as the sunshine given that we have learned that it is always followed by a magical rainbow.

Hi Dulma, this was my blog entry of today - sounds like a similar idea.

All the best,

Please head on over to the "Ascension Anonymous" thread and take a look at how many people are suffering with their "growing pains" as well.

Welcome to the club.
