Planting Seeds and Being Humble:

Becoming awakened spiritually is different than being “woke” as is used in today’s vernacular. It is a powerful experience usually resulting in a profound recognition of who you are and what we are as energy and how we truly relate to the divine aspects of the Universe. It is can be triggered by many things from a near death experience, the loss of a loved one, a serious illness, the list goes on. But it is very real. It is not the same as what political parties try to use as a divisive tactic.

That said, the awakening can bring about such tremendous changes that at times in the baby step part of your journey, your spiritual ego can easily be triggered into thinking what you are experiencing is “special” and that you have special gifts. Your ego, unless you learn to recognize when it is misguiding you can lead you to believe you are here for a special purpose, that you are a special being with divine given gifts.

As stated in 1Corinthians 3:6-9

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.y For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

We are not hear to change anyone, we are only here to lead by example, plant seeds and let the spirit/divine/God do his job.

Planting seeds can be arduous and painful work. To plant a seed, we must break open the skin of the earth causing the ground to feel pain as well as the energy we exude through sowing the seed. But it must always be done with love and understanding that the process can be uncomfortable.

Ultimately. don’t misinterpret your own importance. None of us are special in that regard. We are on our own journeys.
