I recently read a post on Reality Sandwich entitled “The Spiritual Nomad”. In the article the author Lisa Renee describes a process that more and more people are experiencing after a spiritual awakening in which their life is turned upside down. I resonated with this article a great deal because it clearly described what I have been experiencing for the last two years and what several of my friends are going through now.

It is my belief that with the challenges facing us today what ultimately must happen for any real change to occur is a shift in consciousness or an awakening out of a collectively unconscious state. The level that our human collective conscious is currently operating on continues to allow things like war, hunger, environmental collapse, economic problems and more destructive processes to play out. I would even say that it is our collective as well as personal unconsciousness that fuels these things. Yet we still go about futilely trying to resolve them on an external level. Most (not all) of these efforts however don’t quite make it because we still have the issue of the level of consciousness on a mass scale not being able to support real change.

But it is just this simple statement and way of being that contains the key to incredible freedom and joy.
