Thank you for posting this. My manic episodes (two in my life) have been very spiritual, and it’s always bugged me that the spiritual side of things are just explained away with psychological terms. I don’t discount that there is a chemical process that can be explained by psychology and chemistry, but that should not negate the spiritual things going on. Thanks again!
as a psychologist, I strongly believe that both are results of the same phenomenons... if one could control it then finally the world has meanings and it's the best thing one can achieve... if someone can't handle it, then it's a living hell.
This is an accurate list. I've had these signs too. Doctors said I was bipolar something like 10 yrs ago, and I ask them now: if I'm bipolar, and that's a brain disorder that never goes away, then why is it that I don't need medication? We all have ups and downs, and I went thru a period my BF at the time referred to as my "dark night of the soul". We all go thru these times, at least I think most of us do as we grow and in the cases of a spiritual awakening it can look like a crisis to other people. It felt like a crisis personally at the time too. I was anything but mentally ill, as I look back on it. Love your videos always! I'm falling into a depression cuz it looks like it's going to take awhile for us to go back to life as it was, and I have a fear that it never will. I fondly remember a different time. Take care 💚 plant more starseeds!!! We all need more ⭐✨ seed 🌱
I always enjoy your videos, your calm and grounded energy always helps me. Ive been following your videos for a while, and your awakening experience was near identical to my own. I lost my job, ended my engagement, started to feel connected and drawn to the spiritual side of life, then felt connected to everything... and over time it became too much. I lost my sense of self, i lost my name, I couldn’t figure out who i was or what i was, I couldn’t figure out if i was alive or dead, and it seemed like the entire reality was talking to me directly through signs, like birds, trees, random snakes that would pop up in the gardens, even the tv and radio. I ended up in the mental hospital where i was surrounded by a lot of bizarre characters, and felt like i was in this limbo between realities. Of course afterward i had the diagnosis of bipolar 1, but it never felt like it really was me, and all the medications made it worse. I had panic attacks and paranoia and ptsd from how bad the hospital experience was for 6 months... but now I am much more grounded. The only thing now is.... I wonder if that experience was one and done, or if i might somehow enter into such a chaotic storm again? Did you ever encounter the same experience as you did when you first had your awakening? I’m in this phase of life where i spent 8 years studying to become a dentist... and now i dont feel passionate about that as a life purpose, and money no longer means much to me, but i still am searching to find what my calling is. Even though i have so much student debt, i just cannot live an empty life. If you have any advice for me, it would help so much. Thank you for peace that you bring
Thankyou once again for your insight! You are so genuine! And pleasant to watch. It can be hard to distinguish between the two sometimes and unfortunately many people go through the psychiatric system without any of their spiritual experiences acknowledged...I see my experiences as psycho-spiritual...but need some coaching on SE and SA. I'll contact you asap regarding this.
Do you have a forum where you can talk to people more personally about these things? Or do you know of one? It seems the deeper down the rabbit hole you get the lonelier it is.
Hi! I do not have a forum yet. The facebook group shades of awakening is quite good (and there are more like that one). I agree that more places are needed to discuss these things. 🙏
