I now have a growing sympathy for celebrities...Being a celebrity or public figure is no longer compatible with being a truth-teller! Back in the day, they could rant and rave and express their opinions about many things and still maintain their celebrity status. Nowadays, they must practically tip-toe on egg shells with what comes out of their mouths. Sometimes, what they are saying is not even drastically offensive or that big a deal. Famous individuals cannot even speak their truth without getting canceled, dragged, black-balled, and terminated! Overly-sensitive people will attempt to destroy someone's life over a simple difference of opinions...bad karma. Hopefully, nobody cares about little ol' me, but even I cannot say anything without endangering my platform and reputation. Truth-tellers are clearly under attack! I am baffled as to why since most "sheep" are likely to remain "sheep" if history is any indication. Even when the evidence is staring them in the face, most people won't even acknowledge it. Therefore, I don't know why the powers-that-be are so threatened by truth-tellers. We may reach a few people, but most are going to reject, deny, and totally disregard the wisdom. It takes them out of their comfort zone and those little boxes their minds are imprisoned. In counteraction, a record number of people will become spiritually awakened during the Age of Aquarius we are now living. An age is roughly 2,160 years and we are living at the very beginning. Realistically, we are only going to witness a tiny fraction of what is to occur, at least during this lifetime. According to religious prophecy, tribulation will bring about the rise of the so-called anti-Christ resulting in the persecution of Christians. Ironically, a lot of them refuse to adhere to their faith in minor situations when there is no threat to their well-being. Therefore, it is highly unlikely too many will be standing for truth when their lives are threatened...go figure. It is what it is. I started this blog knowing that only a very small percentage of individuals will be impacted. However, this is part of my purpose and I plan to fulfill it.
I discuss a little about my spiritual path to enlightenment in Here Comes The Judge. Nevertheless, I am going to give more details in this discussion. I feel that I owe it to whoever follows this blog to know my story on how I arrived at this point. At the time of this writing, I do not have any official certifications or credentials as a member of the clergy or spiritual leader. As I previously discussed in other writings, my background is southern Baptist. My grandfather was a minister that founded a church in the early 1900's. Over a hundred years later, that church is still open and thriving! I am proud of that in spite of my awakening from the sleep induced by organized religion. I grew up in a very strict religious household that was dominated by old-school values that are presently hard to find. Church was every Sunday, sometimes 2-3 services in one day. My family didn't just attend services, but actively participated in organizations, such as choirs, trustees, usher boards, all types of committees, etc. I developed a passionate love for the Christian Messiah referred to as Jesus Christ. However, that is not the real name. FYI, there is no letter "J" in the Hebrew language. As far as scholars can determine, Yeshua is the actual name which is the Aramaic translation of Hebrew. Yeshua in human form was a Jew with a Hebrew name who spoke Aramaic. The English translation is Joshua. Christ is not a Hebrew or Aramaic word and comes from Greek translation. When Christians are calling on Jesus Christ, they are not calling on their Messiah. God knows what spirits that name is summoning...scary! I am not being sarcastic since that is the name I also prayed to for most of my life, prior to enlightenment.
In the back drop of this strict old-school religious setting, my third eye opened up wide! It happened out of nowhere! Visions and vivid dreams that often came true were a daily occurrence during my childhood and teen years. I was initially terrified and did not understand what was going on. Thank God my mother was supportive and understood that it was a spiritual phenomenon. In my early twenties, I actively researched my spiritual abilities and found out about the pineal gland. The person explained that it can pick up light that the facial eyes cannot see...that's it. Nevertheless, it was my introduction to truth. Throughout my adult life, I conformed to traditional religion and church although observing major contradictions within the church, among the leaders, the followers, and within the Bible itself. My intelligence alerted me to things that simply did not make sense. The behaviors I observed from church leaders outside the church setting was disturbing at best. Nevertheless, I brushed it all under the rug for decades. Simultaneously, my heart was sometimes battered and bruised by cruelty that should never exists in the house of a loving God.
Yes, I have been church hurt or chuch hut, but that is not what propelled me to enlightenment. It is the numerous inconsistencies between what I was being taught and what I was experiencing. It is the profound inconsistencies between what I was reading and what I was seeing. It is the blatant inconsistencies among the various Biblical texts I devoutly believed in; In a nutshell, far too many inconsistencies! Overall, I witnessed contrast in people and places where there should have been resemblance. Consequently, I started openly questioning multiple aspects of my Christian faith. When religious authorities are questioned about inconsistencies they often gaslight the questioner as if it is an abomination to even have questions. If not gaslight, they provide lame explanations that have no basis of credibility or truth, but, the answer sounds good! A lot of times, within the church, the believers are so caught up in how good the message sounds they are not actually processing what is being said! So few do their own research and just accept whatever they are told...I was one of them.
Painful or traumatic life events are often reported by people as the triggers to spiritual awakening. Yours truly is no exception. The final straws (breaking-point) that lead me to leave religion permanently was comprised of 4 life events between 2008 and 2013:
The horrible experience I had at a church with the female members fighting like cats 😼 over the pastor.
A relationship with the deacon from hell 🔥 who was promoted to a pastor.
Hurtful 😢 words from a family member.
Seeing a UFO! 👽
I have already discussed the cat-fighting church and deacon from hell in Real Chat. The family member who said the hurtful words later denied saying it and insisted that it was a misunderstanding, but that was 2 years later. Unfortunately, for 2 years, I walked around with the pain of believing I overheard something that hurt me deeply 💔. Finally, seeing a UFO from a close distance while driving one day was confirmation that my religion and my Bible were not providing the whole story. I was terrified. I used to make fun and laugh at people who said they saw UFO’s. I was taught by the church stuff like that didn’t exist, yet there it was undeniably in clear view! Since then, I have seen many of those contraptions in the sky and I rarely look at them twice. Yikes!
Spiritual enlightenment is like waking-up from a coma. The initial experience is wonderful! It is life-changing, rejuvenating, and exhilarating. A new world of discovery and self-realization opens up like a blossoming flower. I began to research and study everything related to religion and spirituality. I watched all types of YouTube videos ranging from ancient Sumerians to quantum physics. I wrote down pages and pages of notes and studied the information as if in school. So many inconsistencies were clarified and lingering questions answered. Yet, it is an ongoing process and no human being is capable of comprehending the full scope of existence and the universe. The human brain innately has limitations and the ancient people understood this. Hence, objects and ideas were personified to make them relatable and understandable. Elaborate stories were created to explain concepts, ideas, and events.
There are countless books and articles on the internet discussing the stages of spiritual enlightenment. I recommend you read some of them to get a realistic account of what most people experience. The writings vary, but the one thing most have in common is conveying that enlightenment is no walk in the park on a sunny day! The initial awakening feels good, but subsequent stages usually don't feel like one is having a positive experience. One must make a mental adjustment to their newly forming paradigm. I am not going to list any stages, but give a brief description of what I am going through during my supernatural awakening.
As I said, the initial experience is wonderful. I felt like I was running in slow-motion through a meadow of flowers and butterflies. Unfortunately, that feeling was brief, yet, comes and goes. All those years, I was programmed to believe certain things that must have left a mind imprint. My beliefs had become a part of me and shaped who I was. The unraveling of long-held convictions can bring on feelings of sadness as if grieving over a loss. It is literally death of a mindset one has grown accustomed to having. Therefore, in spite of discovering truths, I experience sadness and grief.
The feeling that one knows more than everyone around them can cause feelings of loneliness and alienation. The primary contributing factor is most of the people around me are not awake, including family and friends. It has me feeling like a straight-up weirdo sometimes. As previously mentioned, during this Age of Aquarius, a record number of people are prophesied to wake-up. Therefore, the situation of feeling alienated is slowly changing. I have one family member who will hear me out although still imprisoned within the cage of religion. Another family member claims to be awake, but has a hard time believing I saw a UFO. He/she responded, "It was probably just a drone." No, trust me, it was not a drone!
Also, feeling as if you know more than those around you can feel like a heavy burden to carry. Sometimes, I feel like I know too much and it is not always positive. I sometimes feel like I was happier before I woke-up giving validity to the saying, "Ignorance is bliss." In reality, it is not. Knowledge is freedom opening doors to higher dimensions once it is properly applied. The various stages I experience do not occur in a linear manner, but go back and forth and shuffle around. The reprogramming of the mind can make you feel as if you are losing your mind! Presently, I am experiencing much less of the sadness and grief.
Spiritual Enlightenment Facts
It's an ongoing experience that never ends. No matter how much you know, there is much more that you don't.
It cannot be forced or imposed on someone. An individual must be ready and willing to open up and receive truth.
We are not only on different journeys, but exist at different points on that journey.
Everyone experiences it differently and goes through unique phases.
It is not going to place you in a bed of roses and can feel very unpleasant at times.
A strange experience I had during the same 5-year period of waking-up started on the morning of August 23, 2011. I woke up feeling unusually anxious and excited as if something big was going to happen. I had absolutely no idea why I felt that way and even discussed it with a friend. I logged onto Facebook that morning and out of nowhere, clear out of the blue, I began posting spiritual messages. I was warning people to get right with God sounding like a preacher! I was not a preacher and never talked that way before on any social media platform. At that time, my Facebook account was 2 years old. If you were to compare my Facebook page from its inception to August 22, 2011 with the same page August 23, 2011 forward it looks like 2 different people are talking! Sadly, a lot of religious people who read my messages responded inappropriately. Instead of rejoicing in the truth of the messages, they became intimidated as if it was a popularity contest. Some people focus on who is talking instead of what is being said. I heard of clergy competing with each other for popularity and admiration from their followers. Does that sound like Christian or Godly behavior??? Due to me sounding like a preacher, some must have believed that I was one. They became intimidated and competitive when they should have embraced and supported me. I believe that situation contributed to my disillusionment with the church and ultimate spiritual awakening. BTW, later that afternoon, the infamous east coast earthquake occurred...strange, but true.
There you have it! A complete summary of how I am becoming illuminated! The negative side of spiritual enlightenment should resolve as one adjusts to a new mindset and applies it in a way that supports their life's purpose. In spite of the unpleasant stages, the outcome is ascension and is definitely worth it!!!
