We don���t want to suffer anymore. This is why the fear of spiritual growth exists. We fear the unknown. A faint sense of control in our lives, leads us into stalling the very reason why we came here. We have become so traumatized by life, the harshness of making mistakes, the emotional and financial consequences of failure, the shame that comes with acknowledging how un-enlightened we are. That cave of fears bleeds into the physical.

The fear of outgrowing and ultimately separating from our partners. Becoming masters of denial and repression. Creating facades so complex that nobody knows who you truly are. The justification for why Darkness shouldn���t exist in this universe is everywhere in spirituality. The art of escapism is in making it easy for people to forget their worries. Don���t loop people back towards themselves, or else the house of cards come tumbling down.

We are dancing with fate, hoping nobody can tell the difference between love and fear. Fate knows how to break souls. We end up drifting in the currents, feeling as if there is no more energy left to give. The true depth of your spiritual awakening is in piecing yourself back together again, no matter what has happened to you.

When we decide enough is enough, an ignition starts to switch on deep within you. Stumbling up that mountain out of regret is hell on earth. We become accustomed to anger, blaming everybody and everything, including God. You end up becoming the very thing you feared most, all those repressed emotions have to come out somehow. You are a volcano of raw cataclysmic energy, you are the greatest of thunderstorms. And then, all of a sudden, once it���s out, it���s out. Like a black hole that stops devouring the universe, you become a galaxy of life. The war is over as you are left nurturing your inner-child, cradling your soul in your arms.

After having gone through your own spiritual war, you become acquainted with the peacefulness of love in your heart. The shift finally occurs.
