How SPIRITUAL GROWTH can be a BITCH!

.

Going through a spiritual awakening can be life-changing in countless, wonderful ways---but you have to be willing to go through a 'letting go' of the ego and many parts of your old 'self' as well. This can be difficult, and is sometimes referred to as 'the dark night of the soul'. This can often-times feel very lonely, and you have to simply 'tolerate' ALL the difficult feelings that might arise, knowing that it's just simply part of the journey. (Unusual Awakening, episode 3)
