Repost @spiritualpoetess_ ใปใปใป Often, when you are a force of light in the world, it can escape people that you have your own glimpses of darkness, and dances with danger. Nobody is perfect. Nobody is free of the confines of worry, and sickness.. And this is what being spiritually aware has taught me. Not to adhere to spiritual elitism. Not to grow accustom to the belief that there is some suffering that people experience, and some suffering that others do not experience based on their level of 'awakening'. I have awakened many times. And I have still suffered in the midst of all of it. True awakening is continuous moments of pain, and the pattern of consistently uncovering more pains, stripping ones self bare, over, and over again, until there is nothing left but raw wound. This weekend, I peeled down to raw wound. I looked around me and realised that all of the people who drained me, were truly reflections of myself, and the ways that I have been draining myself by not having boundaries strengthened enough. A kind messenger told me, 'You can't Feed others, whilst you yourself are hungry'. I have a desire, a quest one might say, to save the world. But since I have sung this song, I have sung it alone. Some call it independence, I will say I was probably destined to be one of the shadows, mysterious, misunderstood by most. I am not of the world, But I am an active participant in its salvation, A salvation that I too must taste.. Looking forward to this accelerated period of healing.
