Spiritual Awakening & the Death of the Self
Spiritual Awakening is the death of the old self in order to reveal more of your true self.
It’s not so much about becoming a new version of yourself. It’s more about shedding away the years of conditioning and belief systems that were never aligned with your soul to begin with. It’s discarding what has never been in alignment with you in order for your real self to shine through.
Once we are born, the conditioning of our psyches begins.
We are inundated with perspectives and beliefs imposed on us by our families, society, teachers, friends, etc. We are told that things are a certain way and that there’s no other way they can be. So we grow up believing things and interacting with the world in a way that may be true for others but is not necessarily true for us.
As we become adults and gain our own life experiences, we may be faced with a choice to either continue down the path our families or society has told us that we should be taking. Or we can choose to break free of those limitations and forge a new path that connects us more with our true sense of self.
Choosing a New Path
If you choose the latter of these two choices, you may at some point experience an awakening.
