Keywords

💡Spiritual Awakening

Spiritual Awakening refers to a profound shift in consciousness where an individual experiences a heightened sense of connection to a higher power, the universe, or a deeper understanding of life's purpose. In the video, it is the central theme, describing a personal journey through various stages of self-discovery and transformation. The script illustrates this concept by discussing the unique and non-linear path each person may take, akin to the DNA spiral.

💡Unconsciousness

Unconsciousness, in the context of the video, is the initial stage of spiritual awakening where an individual is largely unaware of their true self and operates primarily from their ego. The person at this stage may react to life's events without a sense of control or agency, often becoming defensive or negative. The script uses the example of someone who perceives life as happening to them rather than being an active participant.

💡Ego Death

Ego Death is a transformative stage in spiritual awakening where an individual experiences a loss of their subjective self, leading to a profound sense of detachment from their previous identity. The video describes this as a breakdown of the ego, resulting in the realization that labels and beliefs are not the essence of one's being. The script mentions the speaker's personal experience of ego death, where their identity was 'wiped clean'.

💡Observer Self

The Observer Self is the part of an individual that is aware and experiences life without being identified with the ego. In the video, it is mentioned as emerging after ego death, creating an internal space that allows the person to see their ego as separate from their true self. This concept is crucial as it helps individuals to become more self-aware and less reactive to their thoughts and emotions.

💡The Search

The Search is a phase in the spiritual awakening process where an individual actively seeks answers about their true identity, the meaning of life, and spiritual truths. The video describes this stage as involving the consumption of spiritual literature, seeking guidance from teachers, and engaging in practices like meditation. The script illustrates this with the speaker's personal quest for understanding after their ego death.

💡Authentic Self

The Authentic Self represents the genuine, unaltered part of an individual that may have been suppressed or forgotten over time. In the video, the emergence of the authentic self is a stage where one can no longer pretend or live inauthentically. The script describes this as a time when the person can no longer tolerate imbalanced relationships or jobs that do not resonate with their true selves.

💡Alignment

Alignment, in the context of the video, refers to living in harmony with one's true self, others, and the universe. It is the final stage described where an individual experiences a deep connection with all aspects of existence, leading to a life of compassion, understanding, and unconditional love. The script mentions that at this stage, one's intuitive abilities may strengthen, and they may have multi-dimensional experiences.

💡Ego

The Ego, as discussed in the video, is the part of the self that is identified with personal identity, desires, and beliefs. It is often associated with self-centeredness and a lack of awareness of the greater self or the Observer Self. The script explains that during spiritual awakening, the ego can be an obstacle that needs to be transcended to achieve a higher level of consciousness.

💡Trauma

Trauma, in the video, is mentioned as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that can shape an individual's perception and reactions to life. At the stage of unconsciousness, people may become the 'trauma,' meaning that their identity and reactions are dominated by past painful experiences. The script uses this term to illustrate how individuals at this stage may feel they have no control over their life's narrative.

💡Intuitive Abilities

Intuitive Abilities refer to the natural, instinctive insights or perceptions that individuals may develop, particularly during the later stages of spiritual awakening. The video suggests that as one becomes more aligned with their true self, their intuitive abilities may strengthen, allowing for experiences such as lucid dreams, premonitions, and visions. The script implies that these abilities are a natural outcome of spiritual growth and self-awareness.

💡Compassion

Compassion is a deep sense of empathy and understanding towards oneself and others. In the video, it is highlighted as a key aspect of the later stages of spiritual awakening, where an individual not only forgives their own limitations but also extends this forgiveness and understanding to others. The script emphasizes that compassion is a fundamental part of living a life of alignment and connection.

Highlights

Spiritual Awakening is not a linear process but rather a unique journey for each individual, similar to the DNA spiral.

Individuals may revisit certain stages, skip stages, or experience a combination of stages simultaneously during their spiritual journey.

There are common elements in everyone's spiritual walk despite the uniqueness of each path.

The speaker shares their personal experience of going through five distinct stages of Spiritual Awakening.

Stage one, unconsciousness, is characterized by operating life deeply within one's ego with little self-control.

In the unconscious stage, individuals often feel like life happens to them rather than them creating their own life.

Ego Death, the second stage, involves a complete breakdown or loss of the subjective self.

During Ego Death, all preconceived notions of identity, such as gender, age, race, beliefs, and personality, are erased.

The result of Ego Death is an internal space that separates the ego from the Observer self, leading to self-awareness.

The third stage, the search, is marked by seeking spiritual truth through books, teachers, and various practices.

In the search stage, individuals strive to understand their true identity, the meaning of life, and the nature of God.

The emergence of the authentic self in stage four involves no longer being able to repress one's true voice or tolerate imbalanced relationships.

Authentic self-emergence often leads to significant life changes, such as quitting a job or leaving old relationships.

Stage five, life of alignment, is characterized by living in harmony with oneself, others, and the universe.

In alignment, individuals experience a deep connection with all aspects of existence and a heightened sense of compassion.

Spiritual Awakening is not about reaching a final destination but is an ongoing process of continuous growth and maturity.

Each stage of Spiritual Awakening is a valid expression of God and contributes to the individual's spiritual journey.

The speaker encourages viewers to reflect on which stage they might be in and to embrace their unique spiritual path.

Transcripts

in my experience Spiritual Awakening

doesn't happen in a linear line where

one phase happens after the next I would

say it's analogous to the DNA spiral for

some of us we might go through certain

stages again and again before

progressing onto the next stage and for

other people we might skip a stage

altogether or we might have a

combination of two stages at once anyway

just like our DNA is unique our

spiritual walk will be tailor-made to

fit us differently Although our paths

might not be the same I think there are

common elements to all our walks so in

this video I wanted to share with you

the five Spiritual Awakening stages that

I went through and hopefully you'll see

some similarities with your own

stage number one unconsciousness

at this stage you're mostly unconscious

which means that you'll be operating

life deeply within your ego

there isn't there isn't enough space

between you and your ego so you think

you are your thoughts and your emotions

you essentially don't have much control

over yourself so you can't help but be

defensive be angry be mean be cynical

negative self-destructive and whatever

people at this stage feel like life

happens to them rather than them

creating their own life and so at this

stage they might live life in a very

reactive way any trauma that happens

they don't feel that they have control

over so they become the trauma meaning

that's their story that's a story

they'll be telling themselves and the

story they'll be engaged in and so

they'll get angry sad hurt over and over

as it plays out constantly in their head

at this stage it'll be hard to see other

people as they are for example a person

I worked with long time ago saw me as

someone who can potentially take his job

even though I had no intention of doing

that

um so what he would do is he'd snatch

any job that came my way

just like so people who are unconscious

engage with other people through the

lens of their own perception and

projection rather than seeing others as

they are

stage two ego death ego death is when

there's a total breakdown of the eagle

or a total loss of the subjective self

for me I went through an ego death where

all the identity I had built up so far

was wiped clean I realized that all the

label that were supposedly me such as

you know my gender age race my beliefs

none of that was real even my

personality wasn't real

any ideas I had about life God religion

were all erased you know I honestly just

felt like a pair of eyes floating in

space devoid of meaning

I have a whole video on this so you can

check it out if you want to know more in

detail

anyway what results from the ego death

is an internal space between the

subjective self or the ego and the

Observer self when you were unconscious

you couldn't feel you Observer self the

ego is what you thought you were when

you go through an ego death there's a

separation that happens between you and

the eagle so you start to understand

that the ego is not you the story you've

been told of who you are is not you and

the story you're telling yourself is not

you

and you start to become aware of the

Observer self in the background the you

know the part of you that observes and

experiences life

stage three the search

this uh this phase is when you start to

search for the quote unquote the truth

when you're at this stage you read um

spiritual books seek out spiritual

teachers watch videos on spiritual ideas

try spiritual exercises such as

meditation writing contemplation praying

channeling and

Etc what drives you is that you want to

learn what the truth is who you really

are why you were born what the meaning

of life is and who God is and so on and

so forth

for me this phase came after my ego

death because my identity was wiped

clean I started searching for who I

really was in an effort to rebuild my

identity who am I really what is God

what is the meaning of it all I read

spiritual books and self-development

books insatiably and I watched a lot of

videos

um as things started making sense more

and more I started feeling light and

feeling connected and high

stage four emergence of the authentic

self

there will come a point where you can't

pretend anymore or fake it anymore this

is the stage where your authentic self

emerges you know the self that you used

to be when you were a kid before you

were trained out of it well that stage

will emerge

um you'll find that um you can no longer

repress your voice you'll find yourself

having no tolerance for unbalanced

relationships and if you have a job that

doesn't resonate well that'll probably

go out of your life

for me at this stage I quit my corporate

job because it became too painful for me

to fake it anymore

I was so painfully aware that the job

wasn't for me so you know I just

couldn't continue

I was also uprooted from my previous

life literally my house in La caught on

fire lifelong friends and family fell

away and years of isolation proceeded

afterwards

but also at this stage I found my sole

purpose

I have a video on that as well so I'll

link it here if you're interested

anyways this is the stage where old

energy is leaving and new energy is

coming into your life into your body so

you might notice that you start purging

out old emotional wounds or

psychological trauma even the most

minute ones that you had forgotten so

there might be emotional roller coasters

happening you might also experience

physical Ascension symptoms because old

energy is leaving the body and the

body's being calibrated to the new

energy

and with the new energy you might notice

that your intuitive abilities become

stronger and you have multi-dimensional

experiences like lucid dreams

premonitions visions and so many other

things

stage five life of alignment

at this stage you live a life of

alignment where you're aligned with

every part of you and every part of

everything else

you live connected to all of yourself

your soul your mind your body you have

compassion for yourself and forgive your

limitations you start being the parent

that you needed and start having

unconditional love for yourself and

because you do this for yourself you

start doing it for others as well you

have compassion for others and forgive

their limitations and understand that

they can only be who they're being at

the moment even if they're not being

kind

not only are you connected with yourself

and others you become more and more

connected with everything else you

realize you're connected to the trees

the plants the animal the air the Earth

the space even the furniture in your

house

and you're connected with the spiritual

realm so knowledge and wisdom opens up

to you you start understanding that

there isn't a right and a wrong or a

higher or a lesser way of being we're

all playing our part and holding our

space benefiting each other and being

the expression of God at every level

but you also see the darker side of

things as well but you know not in a

cynical way more in a compassionate way

in conclusion

I want to say that no one stage is

superior to another stage no matter what

stage you're in you are being God

expressed even if you're in the first

stage where you're unconscious you still

God experiencing life

also I feel this so deeply but Spiritual

Awakening is not about reaching a

certain destination and then we're done

you know life continues on and on and

maturity happens continuously even after

death even Beyond Death

anyway hope this helped tell me in the

comments below which stage you think

you're at thanks for shining your light

exactly the way you were made to

until next time

regards Rey

oh no

thank you
