In the following link there is some info on the positive
attributes on being spiritually aware plus there are some interesting little quizzes
& surveys to fill out. I only completed the first quiz scoring high on
self-direction 5.8, universalism 5.2 & benevolence 5.2. My score in power
was zilch.
It matters not if we gain or enhance on our spiritual
abilities because the psychological benefits alone are world changing on their
own. If everyone or even if the majority took up some form of spirituality that
wasn’t preferably dogmatic this world would obviously, just at the psychological
level, be a lot better off. The link above & below tells us why scientifically.
The link below, specifically, goes into the nitty gritty of why & how spirituality
is so beneficial psychologically.
With the obvious psychological benefits of being spiritually aware & with our own ideological principles & practices one can’t help but
not miss the mark in improving on our own lives & the lives of many around
us.
The following link takes a different psychological look at
how spiritually aware people can suffer more with mental health issues than
religious or non-religious people. They of course can’t see why this would be but
I’m going to make a stab at it.
Spiritually aware people, unlike religious people, delve
into different aspects of spirituality to a greater degree than religious
people because usually spiritually aware people have no boundaries or doctrinal
inhibitions & because of this spiritually aware people can connect quite
differently with the universal consciousness I believe, so what’s the problem with
this? A lot of spiritually aware people already well connected realise how
difficult it can be in becoming spiritually aware, it can bring out a lot of gremlins
in the form of the ego for instance for which our brains have to psychologically sort out usually without assistance
unlike religious people. Reprogramming the brain to accept a lot of human faults
as being a flaw is harrowing in any circumstance, we can at times expect too
much from our human psyche. There is something in spiritually aware people
forming groups to support each other psychologically.
There is another reason why spiritually aware people can
suffer with mental traumas, ESP is one. While becoming spiritually aware we don’t
just have to deal with our own psyche but the psyche of others we can
automatically pick up on through ESP for example. I could at one time pick up
on what the victims & perpetrators of crime were going through physically
& mentally & yes this did affect me mentally, I was quite emotionally ruffled/upset
at times. But of course this isn’t all what a spiritually aware person has to
go through mentally. Our experiences in what we pick up on vary greatly from
person to person but of course the up side is, as we become more experienced the
less traumatised emotionally we become. Like I said before, I think it’s
important for us to think seriously in getting into groups of people with the
same spiritual interests either on the net or one on one for our own psychological
wellbeing.
I would also like to add here a little more about myself. I
don’t have a problem in expressing my ego like becoming involved in verbal conflicts
for instance; I accept this as being a part of me. I accept a lot of my human
vices & attachments as this is a reflection of my life which wasn’t pretty
at times. I just don’t, at the spiritual/soul level, have a problem with this
& I do understand why a lot of other spiritually aware people do but we are
not all the same nor are we meant to be in this human reality. We are supposed
to learn from diversity as only through diversity can our souls learn more
about our whole selves. I would also
like to say, please don’t be too hard on yourselves if you can’t or don’t want
to stop being your human self, warts & all.
