Spiritual enlightenment has been going on since the first life emerged on Earth

Spiritual enlightenment has been going on since the first life emerged on Earth, where all of us are in various stages of accomplishment. Successive generations of life forms, over all these eons have been increasing awareness, up to the present people of today. Our current structure of the brain and body gives us the capability to recognize our source as spirit and creator of ourselves. Then the next step for human beings is to become that spirit in the body. There is one more physical species of life form for human beings to become on Earth and it is happening now, we are growing bodies of light.

Growing numbers of people have had spiritual awakenings and it is difficult to find commonalities in the reports. The variety in reports is partly because spiritual awakening is not widely accepted as a real phenomenon and has not been studied by scientists. Another reason is that many of the symptoms are internally experienced due to changes in the nervous system. Because these symptoms are not experienced externally, there exists no language for it. Variation in testimonials is normal because each of us is an individual with unique experiences and what we observe and report will be heavily influenced from our past. Thus, reports across testimonials seem different even when we are describing the same phenomena. Finally, kundalini awakening is a continuous process with key stages. There is currently no clear definition about those stages, so all stories are lumped together in one basket, under the common name of kundalini awakening, even if they are miles apart. As more people share their accounts of kundalini awakening, we will increase our knowledge about the transformation and help each other get through it.

What is common to all who have spiritually awakened is they understand the truth that they are NOT the thinker. They encounter the higher-self as spirit; they meet their true self that is the life-force behind the body, behind the mind, behind everything. Many people that spiritually awaken believe they are enlightened, which then stalls their evolution to reach higher steps. This can happen because this phenomenon is not widely known and understood by society and there is a prevalent societal belief that enlightenment can happen instantaneously. Today this is changing, as more people are experiencing kundalini awakening symptoms. I hope my testimonial can motivate people to keep going so they can reach further stages.

The reality is that awareness rises gradually and it happens each time that we drop a part of our conditioning. After we spiritually awaken, we are no longer fully identified with our personality, so we have better ability to observe ourselves and be acutely present at times. Our personality is complex, was built over many years and is held together by our programmed responses to life events. We cannot let go of all our programming instantaneously, nor can we change the energy in our system in one fell swoop. It would be too much to take.

We can only relate and respond to that which we have knowledge of and changes in consciousness happen in steps. We cannot be aware of what is hidden, and what is hidden is our conditioning. Conditioning is hidden because it feels to be integral to ourselves. We cannot change something we cannot see. We change a part of ourselves when we have the desire to change and ask the proper questions to discover our hidden programmed influences. If we are happy how we are, then we will not change. It is normal we want to be comfortable with how we are for a while and we cannot instantly jump into the stream of constant change. When we are comfortable with the known, we feel secure and are building energy to be used later. However, we should not stay comfortable for too long.
