My Journey to Awakening (From Christian to Atheist to Spiritual)

[@sisko3893]

Sort of similar journey. I’m 23 went from agnostic to Catholic/Orthodox to atheist and then had sort of spontaneous self-realization earlier this year and that’s been the end of my seeking really.

Non linear is the name of the game. Awakenings are funny like that

[@conforzo]

Let's just appreciate the wonderfully dialectical movement of going from Christian to Atheist to Spiritual

[@RyanMolkentin]

Its happening to a lot people nowadays!

[@veoxyl]

thank you! i grew up really christian because Ireland still lives in the 1500s On a similar journey to you! great video

[@RyanMolkentin]

I adore Ireland, hope to visit again soon. Glad my story resonated with you!

[@EmpoweredFromWithin]

Our stories are soo similar! Thanks for sharing! Glad to know some of us athiests are awakening !

[@RyanMolkentin]

Ahh good to hear :) I think it's happening more frequently as of recently

Hi! Pleasure to meet you Ryan. God sent here! No bs. Roman Catholic-raised and very close to Archangel Michael after going through my spiritual awakening as a Buddhist. Same here, I'm not close to Jesus Christ for very similar reasons. To be fair, I'm a Libra Sun and Rising so I am another Michael with my ascension and spiritual passion. Just a healthy reminder; linear is there for YOU if you need it. Healing is another spiritual awakening which you can always get from the Angels unconditionally if you wish. Sorry, can't help but get all "Michael" on you. Protection from projections is his thing so you can be your AUTHENTIC-self above all else regardless of your path and/or awakening. I speak light language and a self-taught Reiki master and met my Twin Flame with my self-invited truth seeking awakening. I am one with Michael and the angels, and I was guided here to send you this and meet you. I've learned I am a Horus descendant with amazing "Avenger" gifts. I behave just like Captain America and I am indeed from Brooklyn, Pennsylvania Ave. Haha.

Wow i don't know what half of those mean! But thank you for the message :) I'm learning that basically all religions and spiritual traditions have truth in their own way. The modern spirituality is becoming a personal mish mash of all of these. I'd love to discuss with you. Send me an email or dm whenever!

You know it

[@kartheeshk5519]

Spiritual is alright but as soon as one says he is religious, trouble is inevitable

Now for the long comment. My first impression tho, i would say, your journey so far has nothing to do (or atleast a little bit to do) with rationalize the teachings of those beliefs. So far i understand (well, correct me if im wrong), your reason of leaving christianity is because you dont like it or even you dont feel it. Cuz, i think the ultimate belief is when you choose something (which is the truth. Well, you find it out to be true after you rationalize it. Not because you merely like it). Even tho you dont like it, even tho you dont feel it, you ll keep choose it, cuz it is the truth. The truth doesnt always feel nice afterall. But to be fair, i can see where you came from. Well, so far i understand, most people who truly embrace christianity are of their emotional/feeling. So, perhaps you havent been exposed to the teaching of believing something after you rationalize it. And thats why i would love to encourage you to learn such approach. Oh, as side note. Havent somebody warned you about how practicing NA could bring you closer to demonic practice? Thats what christian would say tho. As muslim i would say, that may attract the djinn. In islam, we know all that kind of stuffs for the longest. We believe such things exist. But islam also forbids us to practice such thing. Cuz, it ll rather distance us from The Creator. Wait, you believe in the existence of The Creator of universe, right?

[@RyanMolkentin]

Demons, God, spirits, practice, don't practice, Christian, Muslim... doesn't matter. It's all the universe baby. Just good old one while universe. No good or bad. Not better or worse :) practice what is right for you and I'll practice what is right for me. It's all relative in the most absolute sense ;)

[@tarno_bejo_]

@@RyanMolkentin So, you dont believe in the absolute truth? But the universe has The Creator no? The uncaused cause of the universe

[@RyanMolkentin]

@tarno_bejo_ I believe the absolute truth is that everything is relative... absolutely hehehe

[@tarno_bejo_]

@@RyanMolkentin You know that sentence is contradicting itself, right?

[@tarno_bejo_]

Short comment: you need to learn islam bro. Long comment will come soon.

[@RyanMolkentin]

I've heard Islam has a mystical tradition known as Sufism. That's definitely interesting and I'd love to learn more about it

[@tarno_bejo_]

@@RyanMolkentin Well, you can learn anything, really. So, you can see the different later. But, if you want to learn science101. Rationally, you will learn it from science teacher or even professor. Not from art teacher. Not even from math teacher (even tho science and math are related. But we are talking about the science101 here, the basic of science). Likewise, if you want to learn the basic of islam. Rationally, you need to learn it from islamic sources. The islamic book source, even the quran itself as the main source of islam, before you go any further learning something that you dont even know the very basic. I mean go ahead and try. But it would be series of difficult understanding or even misunderstanding. As result, you may spend more time to learn. But again, its your decision. Im just saying and sharing. You can take it or leave it.
