How to be enlightened in the middle of darkness

 

At first, let me tell you a little bit of my own story:

Already during my “Teenage-Years” I realized my clairvoyance -- only I didn’t quite sort it correctly these days.

My clairvoyance, my hypersensitivity, my high empathy and my abilities to “channel” developed year by year. I sensed things nobody else sensed. I smelled, heard, saw and above all I knew them.

Life again and again offered me compagnions leading and guiding me, seeing me, recognizing my talent and teaching me. It happened by itself. I never forced meeting persons of the same frequency. It happened naturally - of course, how could it be different.

It wasn’t an easy way to accept these talents and to let the spiritual world flow into me and around me with an open heart and mind. It was challenging to accept all the shadows of the light. Learning to handle them.

Because this is a part of spritual work and spirituality itself, too. One almost nobody likes to talk about:

Where there is light, there is a shadow.

Being empathic and clairvoyant can mean suffering, too - energy vampires, being too empathic, unwished foreshadows or throwbacks, foreign energy.

One has to learn to handle all these things - it’s an exhausting way, the way of a trainee. It never ends, as we never stop learning.

Well - and the “deeper” I dove to the psycho-spiritual scene during the last years, the more I realized the fact especially this group of human beings - declaring themselves as so openminded/hearted and of so deeping knowing - is creating and depending on one clichee after the other.

A lot of persons of this “scene” offer a kind of pigeonhole thinking, creating an own, elitary worldviel and understanding.

I rate this as being difficult.

Because:

If we suggest energy is everywhere, all and everything is floated by light in multiople dimensions. And the same time locking out everything “ordinary or wordly” - doesn’t make sense for me.

We all incarnated on this planet, the eart - HERE AND NOW. To live an earthy life.

It doesn’t help to create a bubble of “light and love” and being out of touch with reality. It only is a kind of runaway and far away from “Oneness” or “Truthfulness”.

I often experienecd spiritual persons who consistently refused to engage into global or regional politics, because it was to “ordinary” or “worldly.” Instead, they meditated all into “love and light”, so it would work out anyway.

No. Spirituality also means to find the right way of activism.

Not to vote means to give your vote to difficult parties and to devalidate a hard-fought privilege (voting!). Quite simple.

And maybe you can heal your sick neighbour by praying and meditating, but this doesn’t mean, he wouldn’t be in need of a real, earthy helping hand, too - because he has to eat and drink, needs medication or simply an human being at his side.

Also I met a lot of persons in the spiritual area claiming the idea that persons being sick or sad, stuck or fighting with frustration and anger simply can’t be spiritual or do spiritual work/energy work. The real “enlightened” mustn’t be sick, sad, frustrated or clueless.

And all the REAL “enlightened souls” have to skip any worldy goods as they are “energy thiefs”.

Being an energy/lightworker, medium or spiritual healer whilst eating chocolate or crisps, baking cakes, listening to Rock/Pop/Funk(Metal/Hip (=Mainstream brrr) or watching videos - worst case! - even series or movies or reading “normal” books is absolutely and irrevocably impossible!

It is not.
Of course you can be spiritual and “enlightened” (whatever this means for you) - you can be in contact and aligned with the spiritual world, your Higher Me, the Oneness - and the same moment you are allowed to eat your chocolate cake, watching the next series on N..flix and wearing your cozy socks from the Discounter. (Ja, I admit, it would be nice if you know that sugar is not so very healthy, N..flix is nothing to enjoy the whole day and the cheap socks are not the best for the economy and the earth).

And YES - you can be spiritual and “enlightened”, even if you are (chronically or temporary) sick or even depressed sometimes. Or if you don’t know the next step, if you’re frustrated or angry or annoyed. All is a part of it!

If there are days your chakras are closed and you aura colour is more like a duck pond - who cares! It’s okay!

Because spirituality means ALL. All and everything. If you turn away from the world and all we like to name “destructive” about it, it doesn’t have to do with the idea of Oneness or Wholeness.

You don’t have to be positive about all - this would be toxic. You are allowed to have, celebrate, valide and work with your own shadows. To even love them.

And you do not loose your connection to “the above” if you eat an icecream or a cookie! Joyful energy is to be found in a lot of things. It’s all energy, remember? So let all be energy!

ALL is energy - not only “All you rate as good enough to be”.

And not all others name “destructive” really is.
The decision what lowers or raises you, is yours and only yours.

So: YES. You can be enlightened in the middle of the night, by surrendering to this night.

I invite you with this post to finally step into a grounded daily spirituality. Stop being a strange group of nerds being totally out of touch with the reality out there.
Instead: Let us start to finally get back to our earthy roots, so our crowns can finaly reach the light above.
