When it comes to waking up, some of us do seem to have it easier than others. For many people, spiritual awakening is hard work. And in this video, I’ll be sharing the top 2 reasons why this is true and the 3 things you must remember if you’re going through a tough awakening right now.
In 2015, I was reading one of my all time favorite books, The Surrender Experiment, by Michael Singer. The book had reached me just in time. I was struggling to ground my spiritual awakening and every day presented new challenges.
Then I came to a passage where Singer describes his awakening moment. He was sitting around chatting with his brother in law, when suddenly, he became aware of a voice in his head. He became aware of the ego.
And that was Michael Singer’s awakening moment.
At first, I was a little annoyed at this. Here was a guy who had what seemed like the smoothest of awakenings, while I felt like I had been drowning in my own awakening for years.
It just seemed so unfair!
So I completely empathize with the viewer who sent this question:
“Why are spiritual awakenings so hard for some people and easy for others?”
I could sense that like me, he was also going through some serious challenges and pain.
Now, this question is hard to answer completely because our minds just cannot grasp the full picture of what the soul wants in any given lifetime. But I’ve been coaching long enough to have a pretty good idea of why spiritual awakenings are so difficult for many of us.
In this week’s video, I’m going share the 2 main reasons why the awakening process can be difficult and also give you 3 truths that you must always live by while you’re going through spiritual difficulties.
Hint: the first reason has something to do with our pesky little ego!

hay so much thanx for this vid, it is if it’s right on time, i am coming slowly out of a very very hard and though accession ( waking up) .
The wonder is yes how do and how can i do this, as even myself says if what i went thru was been within another they would not have been healthy now ….in mind and body ….but indeed God the Universe gave me this wonderful physical body i can cope it all.
I feel also there is some reason that i have to go all of this, first to heal myself ( yes big time childhood issues) to heal my own kids ( there hurt in a way of the youth) than and i feel slow as it is very very special to heal my Twin Flame, who is a young man( he has been abused at home mentally) as i am gay .we love each but now also separated ( to heal i think feel not my mind lol) .
Also i am going from this side to that side with old friends they see me changing and have some sort not understanding ( which is normal i know) sometimes i want to stay home just to contemplate, to find out whom i really am ….suddenly can be my old again which then can see oeps that’s not me anymore pffffffft 🙂 I feel there is a mssion for me and my heart still loves my younger friend and i feel even sometimes he still likes me also ,,,,,but sort of angry still ,myself have to heal completely than he can heal also and so my own Family with a history …me and my twin flame can be a big example of real warm love without a need …as many young gay guys want the need for lust and money and status we where different …. i just love even he is gone now for nearly two years,,, but it started my awakening but yes it hurts big time …..thx this vid wow . my real name stays on the back ground as i will always protect my friend always ……
