Why can some people realize spiritual enlightenment and live permanently in the present moment while others are stuck in suffering, swinging between conscious and unconscious states of mind?
Why Are You Swinging Between Anxiety & Peace?
At Times, Spiritual Awakening is Painful!
Spiritual awakening is not always a joyful process. You might often feel confused, frustrated, angry, sad, grieving, or "out of place". Depression and anxiety are your constant companion. It might feel like the end of your known world. Whatever life you have built on competing, achieving, and acquiring mentality no longer resonates with you.
Life is making no sense to you. Spiritual awakening can be an intense experience of personal transformation. But despite how much suffering your dying mind conditioning may cause, you are not going insane. You are evolving!
What is the Difference Between Spiritual Awakening and Enlightenment?
There are two types of spiritual processes a person goes through. One is Spiritual Awakening, and the other is Spiritual Enlightenment
Spiritual awakening is a process that you go through for a long time, and you slowly start operating from Being Instead of your mind. Your mind slowly dissolves, and you live from a surrendered state of Being that is one with God itself. This metamorphosis is like the transmutation of a butterfly from a caterpillar.
Spiritual enlightenment is when you get liberated in one instance, maybe in a few minutes, a few hours, or a day. This is a rare event when the person is fully realized, and the whole universe reveals itself to that person. Here, your center of Life changes from Mind to Being complete. Many enlightened sages go through this one-time event while on this earth. This depends upon your karmic tendency
In a spiritual awakening, as the mind's conditioning is not completely dissolved, it pulls us in an unconscious state frequently, as if your mind is pulling you out. That's why you fluctuate between conscious and unconscious states.
