3 warning signs that your soul is in the "wake" phase (and why it hurts at first)

"Sometimes...Pain, not because life is falling, but because our hearts are waking up. "

Many people used to have moments that felt that the same world was no longer the same. What was done and then happy was no fun. People who used to get along felt aloof. The success that used to run back looked empty.

Some thought they were burning out, others thought they were depressed or lost in life.

But in some cases, what is happening can be a transition of the mind when we begin to see more of the truth of life.

In Buddhism, seeing truth does not happen because of miracles, but because of consciousness, seeing the impermanence of everything, and beginning to loosen adherence.

This change is often not beautiful at first, because every time the truth appears, the passion is shaken.

Signal 1: You start to feel that the "old life" no longer answers the problem.

You still work the same, live the same, meet the same people.

But inside, it felt empty.

Things used to get excited back.

What used to be proud is not as meaningful.

This doesn't mean you hate the world.

But because the heart began to ask deeper questions,

"What do we live for?"

"What is true happiness?"

"Are we really running after what it's worth?"

When wisdom begins to work, happiness that relies solely on objects, fame, or admiration is no longer sufficient.

The Buddha taught that happiness from external things is impermanence. When factors change, happiness changes.

The mind then began to look for peace that did not depend on external things.

Signal 2: You start to see your own emotions clearer.

But before...

Angry is an angry person.

Sorry is a sorry person.

Anxious also believes every thought of himself.

But when consciousness starts to grow, you start to see

"Now getting angry."

"I'm scared now."

"Now wanting."

Instead of becoming that emotional,

You start to be an emotional observer.

However, it feels even more painful.

Because as we become more conscious, we will see our passion more clearly.

Saw envy

Seeing selfishness.

Saw the urge to overcome

Seeing hidden fear

Many people are shocked and think of themselves as worse off.

But the truth is...

Those passions existed before, but we never saw them before.

Like the room that first turned on the light. The dust didn't rise, but we just saw it.

Seeing passion is not a failure.

But is the beginning of the cleansing.

Signal 3: You start letting go of the matter that used to stick.

Other people's words start to have less power over your heart.

You don't have to win every argument.

There's no need to explain yourself to everyone.

No need for everyone to accept it.

This is not indifference.

But to begin to understand

We can't control the thoughts of others.

What's in control. Only our actions and minds.

Understanding this, suffering gradually diminishes.

It's not because the world has changed.

But because the way the world changes

So why is the first phase of awakening painful?

Because ego doesn't like the truth

The ego creates that

"I have to be good."

"I must succeed."

"I must have a lover."

"I have to be accepted."

When wisdom began to see that everything was imperfect, the image of the ego began to shake.

So there's confusion, emptiness and pain.

This pain is not a penalty.

But like a snake that is molting

Old stains fall out, there is awkwardness.

But without molting, it can't grow.

In Buddhism, the development of the mind is not by fleeing suffering, but by learning to view suffering realistically.

Seeing the cause of affliction, he gradually laid down the cause of affliction.

So what should I do?

Don't rush to answer everything.

Don't rush to judge yourself as being "attained" or "lost."

Just practice mindfulness in everyday life.

Know the breath

Know the body

Know emotions

Know the idea.

Without relegation and without attachment.

Gradually, notice that all emotions occur and then go out.

Every thought came through and passed.

Even the identities we hold are constantly changing.

As wisdom gradually grows, suffering does not disappear because the world is kinder.

But it will be reduced because the heart no longer carries the whole world.

If today you feel that life has changed, people have changed, or even you are not the same.

Don't be scared.

Take this moment as an opportunity to get back to your own mind.

Because real awakening is not becoming special.

It is to see life as a reality, to be conscious of the present, and to slowly loosen its grip.

When the heart doesn't take hold, the peace doesn't have to run.

Because it already exists...In a heart that knowingly knows the truth of life.
