True story

[@claudiaschneider5744]

My dear friend, all you do tell us about your lonely road of awakening is quite true. Same, same but a bit different here - for me - and most of us - I am just dealing with issues as a private care giver to my severe disabled husband - had to bring him into a nursing home - after 20 years - being with me - at home - and being his only caregiver. My body can´t take that any longer - and its really hard for both of us. We are both in our senior years now - and its kind of heartbreaking for both of us. Awakening is never easy but a huge gift to our soul, spirit and mind system - but we have to handle it very carefully in this - sometimes - very cruel world. Lost all so called friends, after my husbands bad accident in 2003 - only our pets did stay with us until they all passed - one after another. At least you still have your beautiful dog - enjoy eachother - and if I do have more time left over, I will join your friendly community. Thank you for sharing your story, Sunya.🧡💛💚💙💜

Find your tribe. You are correct, 98% of people follow a very materialistic path, fear aging and are in denial using alcohol to escape or worse, try to relive moments that have long gone. Everything in life is a memory if you really think about it. I believe we are spirits having a human experience. Experience being the operative word - to experience and to learn, to what ends? I have no idea, but I like the mystery. I believe we have ALWAYS existed in one form or another, and wherever we did materialise from was a very happy place. Think of the laughter and joy that every child possesses naturally - every playground where ever you are in the world - yet most of us struggle to remember anything younger than 5 years old. Then we grow, we are shown pathways that society would like us to be shown to be good little servants and do what every one else has been told to do. We become lost in fear, forever resentful in comparison to others. We lose gratitude. We strive to be different but equally fear being different, believing true happiness can be bought - it can't. Happiness is there always, like the sun is there always - you just have to scrape away all of the shit that hides it.

I found that there was a spiritual force trying to hide the truth from me. I felt there was a conspiracy happening around me that none of my friends saw. Then 9/11 happened and I found out facts that other people avoided. This was around when I woke up and the Bible began to make more sense. I was still going to pubs and some of my friends distanced themselves from me. The truth was a bummer to them and they wanted to go with the herd. I quit drinking and went from being very popular to a loner. With the internet having so much access to knowledge my growth began again. I kept on learning new things and developing a different point of view as my knowledge increased. Fast forward to now after 30 years I have helped opening other friends eyes when they were confused. I found the meaning of life in a sense but it doesn't end there because we keep learning and that is the reason. I have no real willpower that wasn't given to me. When I have willpower it is a gift. Keep learning and find peace in the journey because we are predestined for glory and have to walk through the dark valley but God is on our side.

This is exactly where i am at now. lost all my friends, felt so alone, even my spirit contacts, guides, etc, deserted me. I was no longer even a spiritual person. It was like the deepest darkest dark night of the soul. I came to a place where i could see no point to remain here. Life had changed beyond all recognition . And then an amazing thing happened. An old friend whom i had not seen for eleven years, hunted me down from across an ocean and found me against great odds. The things she introduced me to began to explain and provide some of the answers to the weird twists and turns my life has taken. Today i know i am not out of the woods yet but at least i know what is happening and why and i am becoming so much happier with my own company. This video was very helpful, thank you.

You'll know when you are experiencing awakening, you will probably go into the abyss first (not a place to fear but a place between duality, "the void"), feel like you're dying etc ...which can last years, then slowly, start to see through the illusions of this world. You will be on your own, friends and even family will be gone, either by your own choosing or theirs. Only you will understand what's happening. You're never alone when you get in tune with the creator/source/universe, you will find they are all you actually need and become the best company, fun, and friends you ever had. Deep spiritual growth is painful, confusing, very tiring and frightening at times but if you let it do its thing, stay strong and trust in the creator you will emerge enlightened, grateful and full of reverence, with a clear view and understanding of why you're here. Be thankful for everything.

[@DioHarder]

I realized all of this and it slowly lead to nothing having any meaning anymore, I don't want to be *here* anymore... because I understood it all, I have explored every nook and cranny and found that all point towards this truth you are describing here. It feels like I have to stay and wait out the storm until we all arrive at this conclusion. I really have no motor anymore. Nature, relationships, pets, hobbies, nothing has quite the same ring anymore, music is still there for me, as it always has been. But even then, it seems like even the musicians themselves get a glimpse of this truth and it seeps into their art, yet they keep chasing and playing the game. It is so rare to see and feel authenticity. No matter where I go. So I rest within myself, silently suffering for the whole world. Feeling the guilt of the ones that victimize and the pain of the ones that are treated wrong. Because it's all part of "me" not the ego me, but the me that is the universe experiencing itself.

[@sunyateaching]

[@l.g.4451]

Even though those of us who are awake and realize that staying in the 3D world is painful, we are called to spread out light. I don't care if others receive it or not. That is their choice, but our job is to share it nevertheless. Lately I have been sharing a lot of it by making deep comments on people's videos. I can't tell you how many keep my comments at the top of the list or highlight it. Why? Because it is rare that people will share in this way. That's my light, and if one person reads my comment as sees the light and does some research, then I have done my job.

Wow, it's actually nice to stumble upon someone with similar experiences.. I went so far to disconnect from civilization almost in entirety, for 12 years now. I sold apartment in the city, and bought a "cabin-like" place, not with too many luxuries..The place is surrounded by forest, and on high elevation, almost 400 meters. Found a job that I love by accident, I owed some money to the state, and I didn't have it at the time, and made a deal, to work off that debt! After I finished that, mayor pulled me aside, and told me that he was watching me, and he wanted to hire me for payed work! I'm doing it ever since that moment, trimming lawns, cutting down trees that fell from storms, and every other thing you can imagine.. I started gardening after work, and that was cherry on the top, made me feel fulfilled at the end of each day! I couldn't stay in the city, cause I had to step off that hamster wheel of validation and trends, and the people I knew, just couldn't do that, and couldn't understand how I can

Beautiful words and visuals, thanks. In the UK, we are surrounded by scepticism, negativity - inc. misanthropy - and chasing of sensual and material pleasures. No wonder many people look dead-eyed after 40, dragging themselves to work and around shopping centres. From 2020-2022, I became sick of living that way. I was fed up with the draining influence of my mental chatter, egotic insecurity and societal BS. On a positive note, it's great how many channels on YT cover spiritual awakening; the same for the heart symbol of universal love that I see people displaying. Some people will harden, instead of freeing their minds and opening their hearts. With regret, I leave those people be. And I live in hope of meeting more people open to love and inner peace.

The clock has been ticking these many decades, but since I was a very young child, I just wanted to finally finish, to finally reach the end and to finally Know. These last few years I have lost some good friends. I have watched a generation passing away. I am in that queue. In the last few years I watched as a few passings made me realise we were at the end of a book, the end of an era where few people who stood here and lived life would ever even be remembered.

I never really thought of it as a spiritual thing, but to me it made sense that if I was to fulfil the basic requirements of a human, I may as well do the best I can in each area. One of our basic requirements is for shelter. If I'm going to live in a shelter, it may as well be a good one in an area not inhabited by too many jerks. This means I have to go to work. If I'm going to walk the earth, I might as well walk as best I can, meaning, in a good state of fitness. This means I have to go to work. If I'm going to eat, I might as well try and get the best nutrition I can. Healthy food isn't the cheapest. This means I have to go to work. Human beings are animals, blessed (and maybe cursed) with a sense of our selves. There is no more point to us than any other animal. If we had a purpose, it would be to stay alive and procreate, and raise what we've produced to be able to survive and procreate itself. None of us are as important as our ego wants to believe we are.

My opinion is that, at first, we all chase physically and the more we chase the more hungry and cruel we are.

Some of them may wake at the last hour, and some are free to choose staying in their 3D world. There's no judgement, no right or wrong path.

Amazing...exactly my own experience. I'd rather spend a life alone than entangled in delusions, believing my carefully curated persona is real and not what it actually is - a performance.

Beautiful video, well explained. It happened to 'me' too and at first I thought 'What's the point of keeping on living in this reality, then?', like I had reached the end of the game, and got sort of depressed. You need a purpose to keep going. So even though the 'others' are one with me, I find I still need them, to love and appreciate their uniqueness, what makes each of them special. I don't need them to feel I exist anymore, I enjoy my alone time, but I enjoy the other forms life takes. So I keep on living a 'normal' life (well, no friends, but a job where I'm surrounded by people, and a son to take care of) while feeling happy and free, and not so lonely. But yes, sometimes it feels good to watch a video like this one to feel understood. So thanks.

This just happens. It's reasonable; if you change, the things you had in life before you changed will drop away. And you logically make more time for yourself.

If what you’re feeling makes you wonder whether you’re all alone, remember that many great philosophers and spiritual traditions have spoken about this very experience. Think of schools like Advaita Vedanta, Mahayana Buddhism, or the ideas of Plotinus and Spinoza. They all point toward one big truth: the boundaries we draw between ourselves and the world, between “me” and “you,” are more like illusions we create than solid realities. When you see through these illusions-when you truly feel that you are connected to everything around you-you’re actually tapping into a perspective shared by countless seekers before you. They’ve said that deep down, there’s no real separation. You aren’t losing others so much as discovering that you and everyone else are part of one whole existence. This kind of wisdom shows up in many places and times, reminding you that what you’re seeing now is part of a long tradition of waking up to the truth of oneness.

It’s impossible to realise your innate peace and freedom,without realising your aloneness. You’re utterly alone,because there’s nothing other than everything.

Wonderful, insightful reflection, Sunya. Thanks for sharing the experience of Oneness. We are aspects of Nature and the Universe in this temporary physical form being aware of itself, experiencing itself. There is vast space, beauty and freedom from the conditioning of society. Aloneness is different from loneliness. Aloneness is freedom from the anxiety and confusion of society. Be well, be peaceful, be happy. The Buddha had the same awakening. When I visited India and Nepal, 1975, after having travelled overland from Europe, there was that initial awakening of silence, stillness, vast space, oneness, timelessness, eternity, and freedom from the illusion of a separate self or ego-center. There was the experience of the unconditioned, childllike,, blissful mind. Cheers.

[@dawnjohnson8739]

It’s like living in a completely different reality from from most people. In a progressive place, it’s a lot easier. In a very 3-D oriented place, it’s a constant challenge not to say the “wrong” thing that will disclose how different you are from “them” and give them reason to hate you - just because you are different from them. Definitely a lonely path, but way easier if you’re living in a very progressive place.

I first had an awakening at age 30…on my 30th birthday, as a very uneducated angry poor young man, and at that time I chose to block it out because I was scared… it was too much for me to handle at that time…I’m now 62…. my awakening is profound… it took 30 years or so to accept it… to embrace it… understanding my body is not me… it’s an accumulation of minerals and elements along with food, it’s not something beyond this…. and the mind… it’s a camera … it take pictures and develops them accordingly and that is it… so then what is the “big deal” of an awakening if this is all we are? Well, that’s the beauty of an awakening it’s so much more…you do feel love… I have a 7 year old son I love him beyond words….the awakening has given me the blessing and curse seeing and feeling time… each breath in I feel alive and each breath out I’m closer to being no longer… I cherish and savor time beyond anything else… I have been afraid to die since age 30… understanding your mortality is a blessing and a curse… I blocked it out all out of fear and now I don’t ask for it but I lovingly humbly embrace it… death and dying… after all it’s just this and the awakening helps you understand your life force your energy your soul that is what goes on forever… there is so much more I leave it there for now …

Telling my exact story!!! Seems like yet another confirmation that EVERYTHING is simply on repeat, in limitlessly unique ways...Gorgeous scenery here. I have found myself alone, barely functional, still trying to understand how to live IN this world now that I see how I Am not OF it, in the sense of "society". None of it makes sense or motivates me anymore! So I am still growing up in my Spirit and waiting on new inspiration. I'll check out your community🎉

@sunyateaching I was thinking it would be nice to meet like minded folks in my area (I haven't), now that I've considered it I can't see being able to talk to even the like minded in depth about it so why bother? I really do believe we are scheduled to be alone during this time. Fortunately for my dog and I, we live in the woods of the Rocky Mountains, so we can still be alone even when we go outside.

I have been asking these questions for a long time. I'm 71 and don't have many friends most people I have known were just not like me, it seems we are living in a world of MSM BS and I got tired of it. I'm married but live quite a solitary lifestyle now.

[@SIERRATREES]

when you become like this, peoples opinions, chatter, possessions - especially luxuries, position, power and status, become more irrelevant ; Nature, presence of mind, contemplation of the mysteries of the universe are what brings contentment. Then, because you are happier with less, life gets easier in a sense. On relationships and the interconnectedness, I can enjoy and feel love to people I don't know that well, such as, at my church ; your just feeling and receiving good energy.

[@sunyateaching]

Yes wonderful! 🙏❤️

[@jrddoubleu514]

If you aren't number 1 in your own life, you'll be a servant in someone else's. I've learned that no matter what you think, eventually, you end up paying a price for tollerance. The sooner you figure out what you want, and the sooner you find the courage to comitt to yourself, and that path, the better you will be, because nobody else is truly going to want you gaining autonomy. They're comfortable with you being a convinience in their lives, even if it inconviniences you. Growing up is realizing that of you don't make yourself number 1, you never will be. Even if you have kids, they have to be your choice, and you have to be number 1, to teach them to be number 1 in their own lives, when the time comes. It's not about selfishness or selflessness. It's about taking responsibility for your own lives. Reclaiming autonomy, and asserting your own boundaries, and sovereignty. That's what you did. You woke up and figured it out. 'I've got to do me. No matter the cost. No matter what my 'friends' think or feel, and if they don't like it, that's on them. I don't exist to validate them and their decisions. I exist to make my own.' "Misery loves company. If you're miserable when you're alone, you're in bad company; Your own." I don't get lonely. I don't need or feed other people's validation.

We are one, why I feel bliss when I do something to make another feel happiness.. and sad when I neglect them. I was abandoned by best friend because I grew into/ created a freer life and she was consumed by jealousy. She totally shut me out of all apps and ghosted me for zero reason, but that she was comparing my life, adventures and successes to hers and couldn't accept the tally. It was alarming to realize I never had her as a friend to begin with. So I ramble on with my husband and two big dogs, care for mom and have one true friend who I chat with every other day or so. Friendships havn't worked out for me, I am on a different vibe. But I hope to connect to humanity in a more meaningful way in the future, with the love and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Once we recognise that thoughts are empty, the mind will no longer have the power to deceive us. But as long as we take our deluded thoughts as real, they will continue to torment us mercilessly, as they have been doing throughout countless past lives. ~Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910 - 1991)

How amazing. All living beings have the true nature of awakening and freedom, yet they do not realize this. Unknowingly they wander on the oceans of suffering for lifetimes. It is time to realize your own true nature. ~excerpt from the Prajñāpāramitā (Sanskrit meaning Perfection of Wisdom)
