The primary obstacle to Spiritual Awakening
And the feeling of being in a limbo state almost continuously
This is one of the big paradoxes that we have to face on the path towards awakening.
We have all heard that there is a tremendous emotional relief associated with awakening, but this knowledge might actual be the very obstacle that prevents true deepening of an awakening.
Yes absolutely, awakening does provide a deep emotional relief, but it is very important to understand, that the relief is a byproduct of awakening!
So chasing the relief itself will actually be what prevents awakening from happening.
Awakening entails a 100% cooperation with Truth which leads to a surrendering into what is.
This is what relaxes the mind, this is what brings internal peace, this is the end of struggling, this is Love.
And with that, emotional relief happens automatically.
So if you are chasing relief, I am sorry to tell you, you will not be able to get it, at least not as a permanent state.
Emotional relief is a byproduct of true Love.
So start loving unconditional, and emotional relief will follow.
