Why Spiritual Awakening Can Change Relationships

A Spiritual Awakening to the human being is like a cleansing rain to the earth's atmosphere, it washes away the haziness of doubt, selfishness, and uncertainty to reveal a much clearer vision. This vision is accompanied by a greater sense of optimism, selflessness, and consciousness that is then transmitted through every thought, word, and action of the Awakened individual. A Spiritual Awakening can have a profound impact on relationships because a consciously aware human being chooses to think, say, and do only that which will benefit not hurt or harm another. A Spiritually Awakened person possesses a quiet inner space that enables her to express herself in a way that is conducive with Spirit and free of ego. In the realm of human relationships, the ego has the ability to taint an otherwise good pairing with its selfish ways. Ego is only concerned with what is best for itself. Spirit, on the other hand, takes into account how its thoughts, words, and actions will affect the other person.

Oftentimes a person's Spiritual Awakening (or enlightenment) is the result of a tragic life experience; the death of a loved one, witnessing and surviving a disaster, or a fatal diagnosis. All of these experiences can have one of two outcomes: the person living through the tragedy either falls deep into the darkness of depression, anger, and fear, or she ascends toward the lightness of acceptance, joy, and hope. The latter, undoubtedly, is the catalyst for Spiritual Awakening. If a relationship is to last, both people involved must make every effort to monitor their thoughts, think before speaking and do unto one another as they would have done to themselves.

Monitor Your Thoughts

If given leeway, the ego-based human mind could tarnish any decent relationship by evoking unnecessary feelings such as jealousy. Emotions like jealousy are signifiers of something deeply embedded in the subconscious mind of the person feeling those feelings rather than a reflection of that person's partner. The partner, more often than not, has done nothing wrong. It is the person who has not experienced a Spiritual Awakening who allows those unwarranted thoughts to rule their thinking. Even the Spiritually Awakened stumble along their newly enlightened path from time to time, but they are better equipped to regain their footing more swiftly.
